It's very clear we are not planning to stop. Given that decision, there is no need for us to lie to ourselves and pretend things will be ok, or that what we are doing is no big deal. Or that we can "adapt" our way out of being 20m under water etc...
- IcyKaiChronicle 4y ago20m is not catastrophic at all. Maybe the elites buying beach front properties didn't get the memo? I live well above that and I'll gladly be closer to the sea. We are lucky to live in such a time of heat. Actually that's the main reason so many of us CAN be here in the first place. In reality world what we shall fix is pollution and co2 isn't one. What we need is abundant, extremely cheap energy. But don't fret, the sun will teach you a lesson or two...
- metalspot 4y ago> "adapt" our way out of being 20m under water the human race could certainly adapt to 20m sea rise with zero impact on the long term survivavility of the species. we already adapted to much greater sea rise only 10,000 years ago. will societies and institutions built on the supposed "value" of waterfront properties survive? probably not. but that is a social and institutional problem, not a biological one.
