Do you mean that, were the impacts of climate change to remain *constant*, societies would progressively get better at minimising the damages and losses it produces (i.e increasingly better adapted to a stable climate)? OR do you actually mean that even as extreme weather events and the slow onset impacts of climate change *worsen*, adaptive capacity will grow faster still?
I'm glad you are willing to bet on these issues with either Romm or Wallace-Wells. I see prediction markets and reputational bets as the gold standard of intellectual integrity, and the fact that Romm refuses to engage speaks volumes. It will be interesting to see if we can get Wallace-Wells to engage - he strikes me as less intellectually dishonest relative to Romm.
