One option is to do nothing.
Consider the little sand crabs (Ocypode quadrata) of the seashore. The mindless little creatures live in burrows just inshore of the breaking waves. They make burrows and scurry about scavenging for food. When a flood tide… especially a spring tide… transgresses the shore, the little crabs move inland. When the neaps come, they move seaward… following the cyclical regression.
Are we humans so stupid that we cannot simply plan to move if the ocean rises 18 to 20 inches?
All other consequences of “global warming” are positive… improved agriculture, increased supply of fresh water, reduction in requirements for fossil fuels.
As I have written in earlier posts, I do agree that the global climate is changing as it always has. I’d prefer warming over cooling. Please, let me see the raw data. I Don’t need your computer code... I know how to do that myself (in FORTRAN if you like). When I get done, let’s debate.

Nothing ever really seems to come out of these big conferences. It's more symbolic than anything else. The most interesting discussions are probably in the side working groups. Maybe you should find a way to get yourself on the US panel of one of the working groups. The problem with the international working groups is that they can spend 2 years just talking about one paragraph of any proposed agreement. The discussions move a glacial place, as scientists put forth ideas and someone counters and then someone else goes off on a tangent. Then they take a note and decide to discuss it further next meeting.

Wouldn’t it be delightful and refreshing, if a panel were commissioned to openly investigate the sufficiency of the climate data, code, and results.
Ummm... too easy... too correct.

They won't be washing up on your shore. If they did, you'd find nothing about them delectable. They are best at entertaining granchildren with flaslights and small cotton nets.
...cute little boogers!
