How do we save an endangered animal like the Key deer when “we know, no matter what, we’re going to lose its habitat in the future?”
The answer was to not destroy their habitat and turn the temperature up on the planet further eliminating habitat.
This article sheds human responsibility so badly.
[Humans set the house on fire] “how much should we do to save what’s inside? We know, no matter what, they will lose their habitat”
We’re basically committed to this much sea level rise at this point, even if we were to stop all emissions immediately (which is also impossible).
I suspect most of those working to conserve the key deer agree that we should be aggressively reducing emissions but whether we do or don’t it still leaves the question of what to do with these animals. Some species have already gone extinct due to sea level rise, and more will soon unless something is done.
And who made it so the sea level rise reaches that point?
Humans are to blame. We either help fox our problems, or continue to hide behind articles and sentiments that humans have to adapt to the change. Humans are the change.
One of the very first lines in the article says humans caused sea level rise, yes. This is an article about how we can help fix our problems, which will include adaptation. The idea that we won’t or shouldn’t take actions to adapt to climate change is frankly absurd at this point. So I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here. Just give up? Let the world fall apart?
