So we have time to switch to socialism and replace all fossil fuel transport with high speed rail in enough time to stop our civilization from collapsing due to climate change? Because I doubt it.

Maybe not. But we have to options: Socialism or Barbarism. Continuing with Capitalism is going to lead to a worse outcome, going with Socialism and working to halt climate change will result in a better outcome. Not a great one, not undoing everything in 5 years, but still a better outcome.

The chances of socialism over barbarism are quite slim given the long history of humanity.

On the other hand, the other guy thinks that you can replace coal plants "as needed," so at least you have a realistic outlook.
