Problem is, we are mostly not preparing for chaos, we are still trying to prevent it. We should stop trying to prevent global warming because that is a futile endavour anyways. Instead we should start building water reservoirs, dams, begin resettlements, etc.
- kaybe 5y agoNo, let's please not stop! Have a look at this plot: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/FigSPM-10.jpg https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/FigSPM-10.jp... And then consider that the x-axis does not cover the full carbon available as fossil fuels. Depending on estimation, this could be 15,000 GtC, maybe more (the lower axis in that plot). https://mahb.stanford.edu/library-item/what-if-we-burn-all-the-fossil-fuels/ https://mahb.stanford.edu/library-item/what-if-we-burn-all-t... It's not looking good now, but we can make this so much worse. You're right about the mitigation, of course.
