Luckily we have discovered air conditioners, have the ability to move and even mass migrate people given enough time, build dykes and floating structures or supported platforms, and invent ever better solutions to problems previously thought unsolvable. Instead of slowing economic growth to make an almost imperceptible dent in climate outcomes, why not maximise economic growth and trust yhat we will find solutions to deal with the fallout? Also people say, what about poor people who will suffer the most from climate change? Well, let's get that economy to 10X as fast as possible, rven if wealth disparities increase, the bottom is still getting better off, just at a slower pace than those at the top. So if you care that poor people will be harmed by climate change, then maybe focus on how to get them economically better off? Telling them they cannot use fossil fuels etc is not helping them I suspect. And slowing down the first world's economic growth is also not going to help the poorer nations.
