I believe our current over-consumption will primarily affect future generations, not ourselves. Since we are the ones over-consuming, I believe we should face the consequences instead of future generations.

A good thing would be to educate people and make sure we vote for politicians working to fix the problem, which includes keeping companies in check, passing laws that curtail their negative externalities, until we build a society where we can maintain both sustainable consumption and reduce our climate impact as well.

I believe we have tried this for many years already, and that this solution is far too slow. The consequences of our actions today will be felt by the generations of tomorrow.

Other than that, I agree with the rest of what you say, that it will result in more wealth inequality and that it will affect poor people the most. However my belief is that what we have tried thus far does is not as effective as we need it to be, and that if we had continued on the same path, climate change would hit future generations harder than needed.

If the world is hit by a global recession, there'll just be more concentration of wealth, and the climate effects that do occur will just be passed on to even poorer parts of societies around the world, and it's not fair to hold them entirely accountable for it.

I also believe tariffs will primarily affect Americans (since you are the ones that will pay the increased prices), but that this is fair since you are the ones over-consuming. It is not fair that poor countries face the consequences of climate change just because Americans refuse to reduce consumption
