The world won't do shit until global agricultural output collapses and hundreds of millions starve... or maybe a wet-bulb heatwave that kills tens of millions.

Even then, at this point I figure the oligarchy view climate change as a good way to cull billions right around the time AI and robotics is rendering billions unemployable, so they'll probably continue fighting tooth and nail to burn more fossils.
