The very idea of recovering from change is to imply that what we have is desirable to return too. Societal collapse happens a lot and for many reasons. We always try to recover, get things back to the way it was. Why? Whether the Earth is habitable or not will not change the fact that humanity, if it is going to survive at all, must permanently leave the comfort of the third rock from the sun. Most locations in space kill us within minutes. The Earth is only a temporary habitat, as at any moment a large metalic body, exploded supernova remnant, biological agent, internal political struggle, or many more global disasters could completely wipe out our species because the event made the Earth inhospitable to our form of life. Climate change is really a very mild change to the Earths surface, and will not cause "everything" to die. It is the political unrest and resulting wars over resources that will cause the most decline in the human species, and climate change only pokes that angry bear a little. Even if climate change could kill all life on the Earth, the planet would still be the third rock from the sun, and our species will most likely continue to survive on it. From an space empire management game theory idea, climate change is only a mild distraction, which we as a species will probably emerge better from than when we first encountered it. As has happened throughout human history. Struggle and necessity have lead to the greatest advances in human progress. Not contentment and sameness.
Just to let you know that we discourage reviving old threads. You should have seen a warning that this hadn't been posted on in over 30 days.
You are better off to start a new thread...you are new and don't know the rules so this is a polite suggestion to familiarize yourself with the rules.
