My main concern about the mitigation or nothing activists is they are pushing govt to make promises that we can't keep based on delusional fantasies. This diverts resources from spending on things that might actually help and, in the worse case, damage our economy in ways that leave us less able to adapt as needed.
megaStrawman! Name your so-called "mitigation or nothing" activists... name them!
CO2 mitigation causes real harm if it means future adaption is harder.
yabut, unless emissions are reduced... stabilized... waddabout adaptation upon adaptation upon adaptation... no biggee, hey!
