It seems a lot of the debate centers around whether climate change is happening, or whether it's manmade or a natural cycle.

But assuming it IS happening and it IS because of us, what exactly would the solution be?

Enact policies to curb carbon emissions and encourage the development of alternative energy sources (aside: why do all you global warming hippies geek over solar and wind and not suggest the obvious pragmatic tech of nuclear power?)? Do we force other countries to do the same? Go to war over it?

Natural or man-made, the answer is the same. Move uphill & away from the coasts.

If it's man-made then I have zero confidence in our species's ability to collectively act in a timely enough manner to matter. Only something cataclysmic will stop this runaway train.

And if it's a natural cycle, then all we can really do is prepare for the change...which, first and foremost, means moving our people away from the coasts because one way or another all those east/west coast cities are going under.
