Record heat again. Accept the new normal, or keep fighting to reverse it?

Reversing global temperature trends takes decades. Adapting to the reality in front of us happens now. Why not both?

Once you accept it as 'normal' the pressure to fix it vanishes. That's how we get worse outcomes.

The insurance industry is already pricing in adaptation. That doesn't mean we stop reducing emissions—it means we're being realistic about both tracks.

New normal is just giving up with a fancy name.

Honestly both? We adapt *while* we push for policy change. Can't abandon one for the other.
