Doesn't that seem like an extremely temporary solution, at best? You can't outrun Nature — our best shot is to slow down fossil fuel emissions, contain the damage we've already done, and reverse what we can.

Obviously. We must do everything we can to combat climate change. This is absolutely critical.

However, I do not see how providing resources to protect vulnerable populations means we do not fight climate change? They are not mutually exclusive policies. This reminds me of the misunderstanding of Andrew Yang's comments during the recent debate, who is a proponent of massively funding programs to fight climate change, but also believes that we need to help those that will most be affected by it.
