I mean, it's not like this should be surprising to anyone who's been even half-heartedly following climate science, global politics and world news over the last decade.

Tbh, I'm more shocked by how long it's taken for it to be admitted publically by such a mainstream climate scientist.

Also it doesn't mean we should give up, just that we can't have a perfect solution anymore (maybe we never could..)

Aside from not procreating and trying to enjoy what good times we have left, what else can be done?

We definitely don't have options that let us stay under 1.5 degrees. We might still be able to stay under 2 degrees. We have a good chance of staying under 3 degrees, if we choose to act. Every part of a degree matters. Any reduction in greenhouse gasses means less climate impacts in the long run.

What can be done is mostly reducing our fossil fuel extraction. How to do that.. I have opinions, but I'm no sage. The world is complex, and has momentum, but it can change - it's been doing it constantly for ever, but doing it particularly fast in the last decades. Renewables are already massively outpacing what anyone was predicting 15 years ago. Social revolution is probably in order at some point (or will happen as part of the collapse of capitalism as the insurance industry collapses and takes the financial system down with it). There are lots of choices that can be made that affect how fast and hard that change happens, and how much pain it brings with it..
