We cannot and shouldn't risk "adapting" or evolve to handle famines, hypercanes, or extreme desertification. Instead, we should fix what we broke by using the sky as a sewer for ~200 years from 425 ppm CO2 now back to ~300 ppm then.

Plants stop being able to do photosynthesis efficiently at lower CO2 ppm values (plants need CO2), which lead to massive deforestation. Thanks to current 400+ ppm values, in many places of the world the greenery returned in the past decades. Values in 600—800 ppm range would be optimal for keeping our planet green and ecology.

Don't even start with Cato Institute pseudoscience climate denialism talking points.

I don't know what Cato Institute is and what their talking points are, but you can look up photosynthesis details on Wikipedia or any other place you like.
