I would adapt to my new environment, likely building a concrete home under ground, which I have always wanted to do regardless. I would have a carbon neutral home that requires little or no air conditioning.
Some people won't be able to do this due to the soil conditions and engineering resources. Those that can, should. It also makes for more usable land for a garden or crops and keeps your valuables out of sight.
Engineered correctly, I can weather any rain or fire storm. The real challenge will be building my underground garden. It has been done, just not easy at all. There are many other challenges that are not cheap to solve.
I know you wanted to solve climate change and this method would require mass participation. I just know humans well enough to know that anything bigger will take decades to implement. I can do this tiny step now.

There will be heavy gauge steel pipes that extend 120' above ground level. That said, the place I am looking at is about 2000' feet above sea level, but may be subjected to snow and ice.
