whatever needs to be done. We could have maybe avoided the worst of this when the first Jeremiads warned us in the 70s. The main obstacle to saving our civilization now is the same as then. The "job creators" will never willingly relinquish control of the power and resources needed to do it even if it destroys them also.

As per the usual, I imagine anything done to mitigate damages due to global warming will only be carried out after the catastrophe has struck. Only then will there enough public outcry to incite real change.
