> So if it’s inevitable, what are the possible positive effects?

I cannot see any positive effects. We should try to prevent the inevitable, while there's still some time. Not long. But some.

> Should we start looking at transitioning to the changes

I’m starting to think we're likely to face a future akin to that depicted in Threads (1984) or The Road (2009), and I’m not sure anyone can truly prepare for it.

What do you mean though when you say you see no positive effects?

You see negative effects because scientists who have spent great time and effort have found connections to and predicted negative effects.

Has anyone spent a similar amount of time and effort looking for positive effects? If not, how can we expect to know about any positive effects?
