I think when it comes down to it and this place is nearly uninhabitable (in as little 5-15 years) what will happen is:
-Some will retreat to subterranean cities. Most countries started building these 20 years ago. China has theirs, Russia does. We built one into the Ozarks.
-Some will retreat to DUMBs expecting to have some hope of survival.
-The rest of us will, if we can remain organized, scramble to launch something of ourselves and our world to a distant star system.
-Create an AI connected to enough infrastructure to bootstrap taking total control.
The last one is probably the best we can do. Leave behind a God to watch over the godless world we so utterly failed, and hopefully prevent it from becoming like Venus. Grand solar minimum or none, if we trigger methane release at the rate we are, that may well be what happens. It's exponential.
Only reason I hesitantly support AI. At least there we have a chance for something to run this place somewhere other than right into the ground, and the benevolence of its creator and controllers is irrelevant because I don't see us surviving long term anyway.
It's actually possible this has already happened. Lot of sci-fi about that. Some people say we made a self improving AI in the 70's, which has taken over.
