The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Will we be safe in the future?
if we save our planet and Co2 emissions lower, how do we know it wont happen again? i understand that it took us a while to mess up our planet this bad, but will our future generations be safe from this happening again, or even something worse?
Yes and no. If we do save our selves then hopefully people and scientists will be finding different ways to advance the system that we created. If we pass down our knowledge to other generations they will probably think of other things that can better our future
I think that the real problem of saving our future is us, human. If we are able to change our habits and be really respectfull of the environnement we will make our planet clean again.
To me, it's an obligation to act for our future, but as you said we have no guarentee that the future generation will do the same. I think that thanks to information, next generation will know how to act, and why to act, and they will hopefully not do the same mistake as us.
We know it wouldn't happen again if we did save our planet to the capacity that we can, and keep CO2 emissions low. This is not easy at the rate we're going because some damage is irreversible, but there is still so much the human race can do to save the planet, we just everyone to be on board, especially high producing companies and cattle industries. Big companies like these need to start using more sustainable methods and producing at a slower rate. I know that is a lot to change especially in the commercialized and consumerism society we live in. These are changes and sacrifices we all need to make for a thriving future.
