> The question always is if we can even do something about the climate now or if we should spend the energy and resources into preparing for a potentially inevitable future.
It's usually easier to stop doing something than to deal with the consequences of doing something.
> Humans have always been champions of handling change. Why should this be different?
Humans have never faced this kind of change. It will be different because it's not just a different temperatures, it's the collapse of the ecosystem which we rely on for food.
- t0bia_s 3y agoHow do you know that?
- Timon3 3y agoHow do I know what? The earlier, the latter, both?
- t0bia_s 3y agoThat humans never faced this before and it's collapse of whole ecosystem.

That's mostly based on scientific studies, existing examples of rapid changes in ecosystems, and previous mass extinction events. Do you have any evidence counter to this idea?
- t0bia_s 3y agoThat's not evidence for your worlds or answer for my question.
