What I’d like to propose: variant “B” for actions against global warming.

The scientists are sure that we can stop global warming by restriction of greenhouse gas emissions. I have very intensive doubts in this aspect. Even if they are right, we cannot stop our economy, which is based on consumption of fossil fuel today. If they are not right, we try to stop the economy and begin to die because of starvation and abject poverty… and this price gives us nothing for the save.
I suppose we need to prepare our nations, our infrastructures for live in reality of globally changed climate, and don’t try to stop global warming by taxes and restrictions. All quotes, new eco-taxes and restrictions can be harmful for mankind survive, both if the scientists are right (but it’s too late) or they are not right (this is possible too). I don’t believe that politicians can stop global climatic changes by their laws.
It’s my variant “B”. It is the way for adaptation, and not the way of prevention by political declarations.If you prohibit hurricanes by laws of the state, hurricanes will be appeared anyway.

Houses on stilts, shift of coastal populations inland, etc. etc.

Humans have already survived ice ages, we're pretty clever monkeys given half a chance.

The last ice age nearly killed us off though.

We have power tools now, we'll be ok.

If they only had that 120,000 years ago, they'd never had to left Africa.

They could have built their own furniture and didn't have had to go all the way to IKEA!

The Vietnamese and the Indonesians already know how to build houses on stilts, so it's not like we're totally unprepared.
