TP, There is a great deal of infrastructure world wide geared toward the current climate. Changes in wind and rain patterns will be very very expensive to compensate. And yet, it would be more expensive by orders of magnitude to try and stop changes in the environment. And that includes man-made changes such as global warming. Tenchusatsu

"There is a great deal of infrastructure world wide geared toward the current climate. " And the crop varieties and everything else. Since the axial tilt is unlikely to change, what happens when you take crops that are bred to grow in, say, Texas and try to grow them in Northern Europe? And that assume that when the northern ice cap melts and the Gulf Stream goes somewhere else that Northern European climate will be warmer than it is now. The whole idea that raising the world temperature by several degrees C will make everything better is just stupid... Not that stops some people.
