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?

Today, no one will deny the importance of protecting the environment. Most scientists agree that global warming presents the greatest threat to the environment. There is little doubt that the Earth is getting warmer. In the
