You are dead meat. It just hasn't happened yet. About seven or eight years ago I heard on the news that the earth was warming at a faster rate than scientists had predicted. Then last night on the news they said that scientists now say that the oceans are warming 60% more that what they had predicted. Which is no surprise. Because unless you're a complete idiot, you should know that most things (if not all things) have an exponential effect. Which means in this case that the warmer things get, the faster they will get even warmer.
For many people, this is no problem. Take the wealthy. As long as they fare a little better than the majority of people when the end comes, that's all that matters. Then there are those who actually look forward to doomsday. So they can go walk around on clouds with jesus in heaven. Or some such insanity. As for most others, they are too self centered to care. As long as things aren't effecting them right now. (To any degree that they take much notice of) The shortsighted ignorant brainwashed scum. I have something for them to do if they have any children. Or have any child family members. Be the ultimate in an evil hypocrite and give them an affectionate hug. As you do so, say, "I hope you don't mind me causing you to die a horrible death someday."
Because of some of the things I mentioned, even if tomorrow somebody came up with a device that would give you all the energy you would ever need for free, I doubt if the way things are done would change. At least not to any degree that would make any difference. Besides, we already have such a thing with photovoltaic solar panels. They last anywhere ( the last I heard some time ago) from 19 to 24 years. And it takes anywhere from 1 to 4 years for them to produce the energy that it took to create them. That is everything from mining the ore they are made of to the finished product. That means anywhere from 14 to 23 years of free energy. But there is no profit in free.
One of the things that needs to be done in this regard is to abandon our capitalist system. Which would be a difficult sell when most of the money belongs to energy companies. Who have the money to tell you whatever they want as often as they want and in many different ways. What we need is a sort of Marshall Plan to change the U.S. over to solar energy. Because having solar panels without the infrastructure to put them to use basically makes them useless.
