I would like to draw your attention to the following:

=====
And the report said no matter how much civilization slows or reduces
its greenhouse gas emissions, global warming and sea level rise will
continue on for centuries.

"This is just not something you can stop. We're just going to have to
live with it," co-author Kevin Trenberth, director of climate analysis
for the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado,
said in an interview. "We're creating a different planet. If you were
to come up back in 100 years time, we'll have a different climate."
=====

It's not something you can stop.  There is no reason to cripple
developing economies or put thousands of people out of work or raise
my taxes to fight this.  We can choose; either we have technology at
all, in which case we learn to live with this, or we can choose to go
back to 25-year life spans, 90% infant mortality, and total die-offs
of everything larger than an amoeba every time something spikes.
