    This article presumably intentionally totally fails to address the fact that you could prevent this by stopping further climate change. It takes continued global warming as a foregone conclusion and is just like, “Welp, how can we deal with the impending hellscape the wealthy and powerful are creating?”

      I disagree that we can in fact prevent the climate crisis at this point. It might’ve been possible if we started seriously working on this decades ago, but it’s far too late now. The crisis is already happening, what we can do is mitigation and try to avoid the worst case scenarios, but anybody who thinks that it can be averted needs to start engaging with reality.
