It's already impacting people today. The same logic that you employ to deny that it's happening today can be used 80 years from now to deny that it's happening then: the change is too gradual for people to notice (insert quip about boiling frogs here), and the coping strategies will develop alongside.


To be fair, in 80 years we'll probably be at 4C global warming, where half of the Earth (around the equator) will be unlivable.

I mean it's gradual up to a point, but when you can't survive anymore, it's not like you can ignore it.

Such as "drill baby, drill!" and tariffs :-).
