I'm surprised that you haven't already seen this discussion, because it's been taking place for many years. The conclusion is mostly that it is far better to prevent extreme weather events such as droughts, flooding, rising sea levels, etc., than to have to deal with their consequences. Other consequences of the extreme weather events obviously include extreme famines, mass migration from affected areas, and wars over precious resources such as water and arable land. 
You are right that climate change is inevitable.  But the consequences become much more devastating once the earth warms more than 2 degrees. That's why scientists say we should slow it to keep it under ac2 degrees rise, rather than just deal with the consequences. 
I'm glad you are thinking about it though.
