Global trend is higher population in cities. So the actual big scale problem is placing cities on shores, in historical flood zones, not minding historical records & ancestral wisdom, then blaming climate for own short-sightedness. Not changes in general but the inertia & radical fast-fixes with ability to create new problems never before existing.

Humanity can adapt to anything. But building non-durable way, consuming wastefully, getting away from nature & living in virtual "civilised" bubbles far from material reality is only asking for troubles when Earth & Sun reminds who truly rules here..
