There is no guarantee that adaptation will respect our moral sensibilities. If we don't acquire knowledge and make the effort to adapt then nature will make the decisions for us and we might not like the results.

Right now the prevailing theory seems to be that we can beat climate change ... without serious economic impact ... without moving cities/populations ... without sea level changes ... without moving around agricultural production ... above all without any compromises anywhere ... Of course this will fail. This idea of keeping the world constant has failed in every period, climate change or no climate change. The conspiracy theory is that this is not in fact a surprise to anyone working on climate change, but that the money's good (and the counter is : we're talking academics here ... so let's get real ... the money's ... almost acceptable)
