It remains to be seen whether the highly turbulent future has made peace with you.

If we can believe the predictions, things have just gotten started. However, we can expect more extreme weather events, more large-scale refugee movements and who knows what else, which might also affect day-to-day life in rich countries.

Until we at least have a clearer idea what exactly we can expect in the next decades, I'm not convinced this "making peace", trusting, we'll "adapt" is any more realistic than some procrastinaling college student who fully trusts his future self to wing that term assignment in an allnighter.

Who said anything about being confident in our ability to adapt? I’m totally fine with the worst case possibility that we’re facing an extinction-level event here with the looming climate disasters. If that’s what nature is going to give us, what choice do I have but to accept it?
