It is true that the impact of climate change is becoming increasingly palpable, leading to a vigorous debate about how to respond to this pressing issue. Whilst some people believe that we should learn to acclimatize to climate change. I would argue that we should go to great lengths to address it. Granted, it is justifiable for some to claim that we should adapt to changes in climatic patterns, rather than finding ways to tackle it. Perhaps for them, climate change is an irreversible phenomenon, so the amounts of money as well as effort expended on solving it would eventually be rendered futile. Therefore, these proponents believe that our focus should shift towards finding measures to coexist with climate change. In the face of rising sea levels, for instance, it becomes paramount to construct sophisticated flood defenses and implement effective water management systems. Notwithstanding the aforementioned arguments, I am convinced that efforts should be made to solve, instead of simply adapting to, the problem of climate change. First, the fact that climate change may not be completely reversible does not imply that we cannot take steps to mitigate its effects. Such simple changes in our lifestyles as riding public transport or transitioning to electric vehicles can considerably lower our carbon footprint, which is undeniably a major contributor to climate change. The argument for such a mitigation approach is further strengthened by our moral responsibility to future generations. In other words, if we came to terms with climate change, it would be tantamount to bequeathing a hostile and uncertain world to our descendants, an outcome that we cannot justify morally.
