When 98% or more of scientist in the field all agree on something, its rational to listen to them, and not doubt them.
Esp when the remaining 2% or so (that disagree), are payed by oil companies ect.

Global warming is real.
Its time to stop kidding yourself, and this "skepticism" towards science.

And can you not sidetrack this thread, with questions of "if its real"? ect, "which scientists to believe" ect.

From World-Meteorological-organization:
(a global collection of meteorologists, and their meassurements of global mean temp since 1850)

https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/wmo-confirms-2019-second-hottest-year-record

And yes, if you go back like 50 million+ years, it was hotter on earth than it is now, and there were no icecaps, and there was still life on earth.

The question is.... how does mandkind (as it is) do, if things keep going the way they are?

We will be worse off.

Climate change will effect area's suitable for farming (less of it)
Water sources (underground) used for argiculture, are running out places, rivers are drying out..... this will again reduce places we can farm.

The amount of places we can live, will also change.
Riseing sea levels, will put some places inhabitated right now under (sea) water.
Which will result in migration.

coastal protection, is another issue altogether... with riseing sea levels.
The smart plan ahead, and avoid forseen issues.
The comeing decade, will see a mass industry pop up around coastal protection imo.
The smarter (and wealthy) countries in risk zones, will start en mass doing big projects to protect themselves.

As for places with underground water running out, rivers drying out..
To bad, cant farm there anymore if its become unsustainable.
People will just have to adapt to riseing food prices and water prices.



I did not ask if it’s real or which scientists to believe. I asked how do you solve it. The only answer I’ve heard is vote for any politician who says the right things. Which always works perfect, so… problem solved. 

We cant solve it anymore.
Temps will keep riseing above levels we need to maintain to "not break current way things funktion".
Weather systems will change due to climate change, thats something we cant change now, we were too slow to act in time or sufficently.
(atleast thats what climate experts are saying)

Its about adapteing now.

Thats why they say climate change needs to be taken seriously, resently.
Its reached the point, where you cant ignore it anymore.
Rivers will dry out, places will run out of underground water, deserts will grow, other places will be flooded (due to riseing sea levels) ect.
More and more extreme weather will become common (more fires (in hot areas), more tornadoes/hurrcanes, floodings in other parts).

Now its about inferstructure to handle those things.
Floodings in particular (from heavy rain ect), and stuff like coastal protection.

The other stuff, like running out of water will fix it self.
You cant waste water if you have none.
You cant have a unsustainable farming sector (in a area too hot for it, with water issues) if there is none.

People and farming will just move.
Same will happend, if your country sucks at stuff like coastal protections and dealing with floodings.
If a city is often under water, I assume people will say "screw this" and move away.

Climate change will force people to move/migrate away from certain area's.

The Cynic in me doesnt think we can do much of anything to change things.
The optimistic might believe someone like Elon Musk, will save us all by useing technology to "remove cabron from the atmosphere".

I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I think its more realistic to plan for the changes to come, so your ready for them.
State heads, should be looking at long term planning, and start doing something about these issues that will pop up.
