Objection 3: "Climate change is not that bad. It's only a few degrees. It's

good and bad. Besides, the climate change cure would probably be worse than
the disease." 5 Climate Planning Objection 5: "We have bigger problems than
climate change and other priorities." 6 Climate Planning Objection 6:
"Retreat is not an option. Everywhere in the world is prone to some kind of
natural disaster. We need to take a stand." 7 Climate Planning Objection 7:

"Someone will fix this. Some new technological invention will save us." 9
