There are too many stupid, greedy and self-centred people for the race as a whole to get it's act together......for a long time, anyhow. For instance, the Australian government is imposing a carbon tax whilst selling billions of tons of coal to China.
They CANNOT stop selling coal....it would financially ruin too many people.
The only hope for the world at large is that there are various homeostatic biological feedback mechanisms in place. They may keep the earth balanced longer than expected. But we simply don't know. If a tipping point is reached, things may accelerate out of hand. For instance the Arctic tundra is warming, which releases methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas (much more so than CO2).
Bangkok is HOW many feet above sea level ???
