The world derives about 80% of its energy from hydrocarbons. It will take some time to bend that curve down. Meanwhile, we will continue to warm and there will be consequences but nothing that we can’t adapt to. Regarding hurricanes and anthropogenic warming, there is no real evidence of any impact on hurricanes from anthropogenic warming. However, climate modeling suggests that in the future we may see less hurricanes but the ones we do see may be stronger. Our reliable record of hurricanes is only about 60 years old.

At the RATE we are warming, I doubt that we will be able to adapt to it. Maybe a huge nuclear war to reduce the world population to 4 billion would do it. But even then the Earth would be SLOW to repair itself.
