There's consequences to rising temperatures. That doesn't mean that there aren't consequences to the policy measures that would be sufficient to actually, meaningfully affect rising temperatures.

There are 2 kinds of consequences.

The haves suffer a financial impact. We must pay more for things that are, let's face it, unattainable luxuries for the have-nots. Many of us will have to do without those niceties/luxuries.

How will we exist without our Keurig coffee pods, DeLonghi espresso machines and dual-fuel pizza oven? What will life be like if mid-winter fruit imported from South America to North America triples in price?
How will wealthy Chicagoans survive without fresh Hawaiian papaya?

Some of us will not have to do without.

The have-nots, otoh, suffer dire physical impacts -the loss of life's basic necessities- which I do not need to relist.

Policy is made by the wealthy, and the wealthy want to hang on to the good life at all costs. It's our birthright. We can prove that, by percentages, mankind is consuming more, and that must be a good thing even if in actual numbers, more people are floundering.

In the meantime, life is good.
