True, but nowadays we can't afford geographically changing human-inhabitable areas driven by climate change.
If climate change causes the areas we currently inhabit to become unhospitable, we risk adding the danger of economic disasters and wars threatening our survival.
Human life was, amongst other things, possible because of one of the biggest climate disasters ever to occur on earth, the big oxygenation event [0], so we could even see climate change as something positive but clearly that doesn't buy us anything today.
