Same is true of you. No one has any idea what the future will bring. We can only make try to make bets that are most likely to leave us in a reasonable situation. That said, we do have a pretty good handle on the energy tech that we have today and the cost and timescales required to switch to something else. So we can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that mitigation is doomed strategy. It won't work unless there is some break through tech appears (which we don't have now). To make matters worse, if you assume that the worst case scenarios are remotely plausible then mitigation becomes even less viable because we simply do not have the time. Adaptation is only viable option on the table. The only difference is whether it takes 15 years and trillions wasted before people accept this or if we can avoid the wasted resources and focus on what we will end up doing anyways.

How do you know we don't have time, you seem to know everything else? A worst case scenario means we are screwed no matter what we do. You don't even know what adapt means because you don't know what you are going to adapt to. You are just hoping for the best and ignoring the rest.
