Why fast and well? Why not, "Let's do it Right, whatever it takes?"
I for one think the planet is worth it. I have children, now grown, and a young grandchild. I want them to have the same opportunities I had, and I want all of their children to enjoy a healthy planet.
No quick fixes. I doubt we'll fix it well, but even a global bandaid would do at this point, we can probably get a consensus for that!

Hasty attempts at a quick fix have led to many disasters in the USA, especially regarding our waterways and power production. It may be that a quick fix is not possible, or desirable from that standpoint. The last thing we would want to do is make things worse!
The deforestation of the planet will be mostly complete by the end of this decade, except for a dwindling number of parks and preserves. Those forests took thousands of years to grow, but only a few decades to burn (releasing their carbon back into the atmosphere).
We have mined all most all the usable coal except for a few locations, mostly in Asia. That coal took hundreds of millions of years to form, but barely 100 years to burn (releasing its carbon back into the atmosphere).
Making steel we have used coke and limestone in our blast furnaces to make the fire hotter. The limestone is made up of the microscopic skeletions of sea life, laid down on the ocean floors over billions of years. We haven't burned it all by any means, but we've burned all we could since we've been making steel (releasing its carbon back into the atmosphere). That only took us a couple of thousand years.
I think a quick fix would be a wonderful thing, but I don't see how we could quickly reverse what we've done.

You can't fix it all at once! If each person makes just small changes it will make a difference. Read Al Gore's book An Inconvenient Truth. It will really help you understand.

According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) global warming will continue for centuries regardless of what humans do or refrain from doing.
Global warming: It's natural, it's happened before, it's happening now and it'll happen again. Get used to it.

there is no quick fix to any problem. so just do what you can, a little at a time. every little thing counts. all we have to do is start. as Nike said "just do it"
