First, what makes you think we can? It's a strong claim to put forth without evidence.

Second, I won't be there in the future, so I'd like things not get too bad in the meantime.

There is a shocking amount of people on Lemmy that just simply seem to believe that science literally is magic and can do anything with enough money behind it.

No facts needed. No study in the field. And won't even take the word of specialists and actual scientists, cause they just feel right in their heart and the world/Internet has made them feel like that's enough.

Maybe it's over optimism to not be depressed but gosh is it annoying.

do anything with enough money behind it. The thing is that there already is a "technology" for saving the planet. Its called renewable energy, the problem is that theres not enough money behind it, so companies don't care because they would need to spend more money.

Science is very similar to magic to most people. Newton's laws are a commonly understood form of science that are wrong in many edge cases. More advanced quantum mechanics is needed to explain more advanced scientific data.

Well I think it can be fixed with technology because fixing it doesn't violate any laws of physics.

A more pressing question however is whether we humans will obtain or develop the necessary technology and put enough resources into using it, soon enough to make a difference to us. And on that question my magic 8-ball says "Outlook not so good."
