I feel that it's kind of obvious by now that we, as humanity (ofc, in most cases passively), have resigned to not do anything big to prevent negative impact of climate change.<p>Which means several meters of rising sea level, loss of ecosystems etc. The timescale for these consequences is now (as opposed to 20-30 years ago) fairly close, in 20, 30, 50 years, so it seems significantly more inevitable and imminent. In my country (SE Europe), a hot summer day 20 years ago was 30 C. Now it's regularly 38-39 for days on end, some going to 40. I don't expect it to be 50 in another 20 years, but is it unreasonable to think so? Who would have thought 40 is expectable before?<p>Given the (even relatively) mild example we've had with Covid, of cascading supply chain issues and strained economies, I wonder what people think will happen when we start losing coastal cities, some of the big ports, crops, potable water etc, all combined, in different places in the world at once...Do we think that we'll somehow adapt quickly, overcome, is there a plan, or is it just a "future someone's" problem?
