This is wishful thinking.

Climate change is well researched. A lot of predictions made about it in the 80s and 90s were only off because the reality is much worse.

> Humans will adapt to the earth’s conditions

It's tough to adapt to drastically lower crop yield and a huge reduction in fertile soil. Water will be a big problem too.

> If places become uninhabitable, then humans will migrate elsewhere as we always have.

In Europe we've struggled with that when it's on the scale of millions. With climate change we're potentially looking at billions of refuges.

Ignoring the problem and saying "eh we'll manage" is just about the worst thing we could do.



Let me ask you this, what changes if human activities no longer contribute to climate change (in a perfect world) and the planet continues to warm?
