We are going to do absolutely nothing Makes for lots of articles and airtime, that's all Soon only multi-millionaires will be able to afford property insurance in large parts of Florida and California and eventually Nevada is going to have some amazing oceanview property. That's how it works, we do nothing.

I agree with you even though this is cynical. This is the likely response to climate change. It seems that our societal inertia is too great. People will not change unless climate change forces them to adapt.

  Even then, climate change is this can become a problem for the poors. The rich can just get better air conditioning and air processing. About the only blue black to any of the rich/ elite is war famine and general economic disruption from The four horsemen of the Apocalypse

Cynical and ignorant is just the worst combination. We are doing a lot - all of California runs on solar for a few hours every day and no coal plants are being built. Nihilism is pathetic.

  We haven't even stopped for decades now something as simple and well agreed toxic as leaded fuel. It is sprayed around every airport in the United States and the world, there is always "reasons". Lead molecular-mimics calcium in the body, there is no "undo" it is deadly and physically and mentally damaging. Now go read about bunker fuel use in cruise ship and cargo ships around the world and how insanely toxic that is to wildlife. Now go read about fracking burnoff for months just into the air, thousands of wells. We have zero political will to changes things. I am very old now and have seen climate change talk for nearly 50 years. Nothing is ever done. Climate Change is past the turning point, billions will suffer the consequences, just not the wealthy.

You’re not thinking long enough term. We’re doing this for the benefit of our (far) future generations who won’t have any fossil fuels left to fall into this trap when restarting civilization.
