> options that we have to mitigate the effects.
You'd have to admit that there are significant effects first. And you'd probably have to admit that they're going to get worse. And you'd have to expect that some mitigation is going to be effective.
All of which are a tall order at this point. We're still talking about buying a new car just because, or flying off to some far off land just for fun. "The news" is not going to get serious about this until we do. In the meantime, it'll be catchy headlines and clickbait as usual.
