Nope. I think the theory is much more along the lines that our moral sensibilities will adapt.<p>Right now the prevailing theory seems to be that we can beat climate change ... without serious economic impact ... without moving cities&#x2F;populations ... without sea level changes ... without moving around agricultural production ... above all without any compromises anywhere ...<p>Of course this will fail. This idea of keeping the world constant has failed in every period, climate change or no climate change.<p>The conspiracy theory is that this is not in fact a surprise to anyone working on climate change, but that the money&#x27;s good (and the counter is : we&#x27;re talking academics here ... so let&#x27;s get real ... the money&#x27;s ... almost acceptable)
