Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to live with it. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Climate
change
 represents a major threat to life on Earth, but some people argue that we need to accept it rather than try to stop it. I completely disagree with
this
 opinion, because I believe that we still have time to tackle
this
 issue and reduce the human impact on the Earth's
climate
. There are various measures that governments and individuals could take to prevent, or at least mitigate,
climate
change
. Governments could introduce laws to limit the carbon dioxide emissions that lead to global warming. They could impose “green taxes” on drivers, airline companies and other polluters, and they could invest in renewable energy production from solar, wind or water power. As individuals, we should
also
 try to limit our contribution to
climate
change
, by becoming more energy efficient, by flying less, and by using bicycles and public transport.
Furthermore
, the public can affect the actions of governments by voting for politicians who propose to tackle
climate
change
, rather than for those who would prefer to ignore it. If
instead
 of taking the above measures we simply try to live with
climate
change
, I believe that the consequences will be disastrous. To give just one example, I am not optimistic that we would be able to cope with even a small rise in sea levels. Millions of people would be displaced by flooding, particularly in countries that do not have the means to safeguard low-lying areas. These people would lose their homes and their jobs, and they would be forced to migrate to nearby cities or perhaps in other countries. The potential for human suffering would be huge, and it is likely that we would see outbreaks of disease and famine, as well as increased homelessness and poverty. In conclusion, it is clear to me that we must address the problem of
climate
change
, and I disagree with those who argue that we can find ways to live with it.
