Adapt this! The latest scam from the think tank free marketeerians. "It's just too expensive to stop GHG climate disaster, let's all just adapt to it." They still want to fly around in their executive jets. Here's the fly in their ointment.

One simple, easy to picture, factual presentation would explain why adaptation is worse than useless.
Ice melting. Ice on the polar caps and glaciers.
The arctic maybe open water as soon as this summer. That huge ice shelf in antarctica may fall at anytime. It was supposed to take another decade at least?
And the montain glaciers feeding water to 100s of millions of people. 100s of millions of people desperate for water and food. Fighting to save one's own life is one thing. Fighting to save one's children is quite different.
That's why mother bears with cubs are to be avoided. 100s of millions fighting like that?
It might not be the end of the world, but it will surely seem like it. Adaptation?
How would that work in the face of this scale of disaster? Major cities on coastlines all flooding and 100s of millions of refugees.
