MODERATORS
Mandatory part so people don't come at me as a denialist:
We've done a bad job, close to as bad as we could have. Government policies have been a drop in the bucket, and there's already a lot of backlash to them. Coral reefs are going to go extinct, or close - I just can't imagine any other scenario. Coffee and chocolate might get hard to come by.
We've lucked out and technology change looks like it will stop us from digging deeper and deeper. I think we would have otherwise.
But, there is hype in this thread.
Waterfront property might be sketchy. Ditto for agricultural property where it's supposed to really dry out. Just for living, as opposed to making a living, people already manage in Arizona and Kuwait. Climate change will be expensive and uncomfortable, and I'm already really tired of wildfires, but unless your reaching us from the cyber cafe in your Bangladesh village you'll likely personally survive.
The main thing I can think of that you can personally do to adapt is be prepared for weather emergencies. You probably know some of the tips to avoid contributing.
