"The belief is that the climate is not static and that it’s better for humans to adapt (as they always have) than to commit economic suicide."

Whose belief? I don't understand how belief is relevant.

"This is unpopular online, but is the actual view of a majority of Americans imo" Not true. Most Americans accept the scientific consensus - that recent changes in temperature are driven by human activities: https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/extreme-weather-poll-...

You didn’t read my comment because you aren’t engaging faithfully. I said that most people do believe it’s caused by humans but that humans will have to adapt to it as they have to multiple other changes in climate.

I’m not kidding about you arguing with yourself here. This comment is actual proof

"You didn’t read my comment because you aren’t engaging faithfully."

Except, I quoted most of your comment directly.

"I said that most people do believe it’s caused by humans but that humans will have to adapt to it as they have to multiple other changes in climate."

You absolutely did not say this.
