| There are hundreds of different climates throughout the globe. Some are popular and some very unpleasant. Very few people live in the hottest or coldest places on earth. People tend to shy away from places with too little precipitation. People adapt to their surroundings or move to another. If the climate changes, it is likely to be similar to other existing climates in the world. |  |
 | Climate change has been going on for centuries. Since people currently live in almost every conceivable climate, it is unlikely that climate change would cause that much damage or be something that we cannot handle. We can handle sea level rise or fall. We can adapt to lower colds or higher hots. We have adjusted to too much and too little rainfall. We are better at predicting and guarding against storms. |
| With the exception of something big from outer-space hitting us or massive tectonic shifts, we can handle anything that nature can throw our way. The greatest effects of climate are out of mans’ control. However, man does have the ability to adjust. Man can move, build better, grow different crops, or otherwise adapt. We could build entire cities in the open oceans. Necessity is the mother of inventions. |  |
 | Over a half million people live in the desert of Las Vegas and three-fourths of a million in the coldness of Alaska. There are hundreds of cities with distinct climates and people adjusted to their climates. It is foolish to think that people could not handle what might be coming with 2-5 or even 10-degree changes. It might be worse, or it might be better, both are likely true in different ways. |
| We, the people of earth, can handle whatever comes our way. With greater wealth, more knowledge, more technology, freedom, and liberty, people will find a way to handle issues. We see storms kill thousands in third world cities where the same storm kills dozens in developed nations. Improved infrastructure, buildings, and products stand up under worse conditions. Better technology and experience gives us warnings to prepare. |  |
 | The greatest challenge will likely be the statist assumption that they, the governments, will need to change it back or control people through the change. The Left wants the government to fix all problems with heavy government control. Keeping government out of the way of free enterprise is the best way to allow people to handle Mother Nature. |
| Government trying to fix, and control people has led to many problems of people making the necessary and proper adjustments. Free enterprise prices in land, labor, services, and products are vital in dealing with changes. The role of prices is one of the first casualties of populist sentiments directed at politicians. Government ownership in so much of the infrastructure, lakes, and rivers hampers the role of prices doing its job. |  |
 | The Left advocates for higher tax rates that lower prosperity. It is that prosperity that allows us to adapt to climate change. Governments monopoly on regulations is very damaging to our economy because there are so many ineffective and hostile regulations that inhibit economic growth. The Left has the notion that prosperity is harming the planet. |
| Unfortunately, the Left often wins the battle to keep third world nations poor and unable to build, adapt, and prosper. A big part of that is energy policy. The left advocates and forces billions of people to have meager standards of living and life expectancy now to try to stop climate change that is unlikely and minor. |  |
 | Coal taxes, ethanol, limits, CAFÉ standards, foreign policy bans, among others are all harmful to all the peoples’ ability to adjust to climate change or even better handle their current climate. Energy is the fuel that runs the engine of freedom and liberty; thus, the Left opposes it. |
| It is remarkable that the sea levels have been as stable as they are over the centuries. However, if they increase several feet, several dozen feet or over a hundred feet, we can handle it. Yes, many people would have to move. People move all the time. There is plenty of land. |  |
 | It would be vital that the prices of real-estate be allowed to adjust in the free enterprise system. If you believe in sea level rise, put your money on it and buy future waterfront property at 200 ft elevations. Allow the ‘fools’ and ‘climate deniers’ to own land that you believe will be under water in the near future. |
