Climate change is real - humans don’t have the ability to stop it, it’s driven by solar activity.

Now what?

Should we bankrupt ourselves to pretend that governments can fix it? They can’t fix anything else, they create the vast majority of problems in every country but we should entrust them to somehow fix the climate?

What do we about India and China who keep doing more to emit CO2 and have no intention of stopping?

Humans adapt to climates through technology. They use fossil fuels for better construction of buildings, use of materials, machinery to control our localised temperatures such that we don’t have to deal with extremes - should we stop the very thing that has seen a **massive** reduction in climate related deaths over the last century as we’ve adapted because of a modelled future?
