      Mankind has shown the ability to survive to extreme conditions many times over and I think we will evolve to changes in climate faster than we will be able to reverse the process. The technology behind stilt houses to combat rising water levels will improve and other housing to live in areas that we wouldn’t otherwise (mountains, deserts, etc). Agriculture is always improving, maybe not fast enough given the rising population of the world. The real challenge will be whether we can improve protection against the heat by developing new products to combat this.
