We have come up with solutions though. The solution is see what happens and deal with it as it comes, while using what time we have left to try and climb further up the tech tree so that we have more technological ability to deal with it as it comes. It's a far better solution than the tyranny of the mediocrity of government bureaucracy people are pushing as the alternate.

You can’t call this a solution until it worked. That’s the whole challenge, behaving like this is a huge gamble at best or simply pure egoism.

Human history is literally a record of this working.

It’s the same logic as saying, “I played russian roulette 5 times, I will win the 6th time as well”.

Without an understanding of why it worked in the past, there is statistically no reason to believe it will work again.

Also, you can read human history as a record of societal collapse. Sure they recovered, it took sometimes hundreds of years for the history we know of. Since we talking climate and it may take hundreds if not thousands of years to stabilise again, one could argue, this is the scale of collapse we’re looking at. Humans could very well survive, but I wouldn’t call returning to the stone age something we should strive for…
