" summary

Argues that accepting mainstream climate science yields specific but manageable projections: 3–4°C by 2100 and ~2 ft sea‑level rise, EPA estimates that air‑quality impacts drive 57,000 deaths and $930B/year by 2100, and Nordhaus’s DICE model shows ~4% lower GDP in 2100 (~0.05% annual growth loss). Shows adaptation examples — India irrigation, Israeli desalination, Bangladesh cyclone mortality decline — and notes hundreds of trillions in future wealth to fund adaptation, framing extreme collapse as low‑probability compared with steady adaptation challenges.
