No: by 2050 the harm will be irreparable and unreversible, according to this article.

Unless we get our shit together more or less yesterday we'll still be looking at an existential crisis down the line since climate effects don't just magically stop on a dime. There's exactly 0% chance of that happening, it'd require way too much sacrifice from all of us who are used to a very comfortable life, and there's too much money riding on fucking things up.
