For the purposes of this thread, AGW is real and it's reality goes unchallenged. What can we do to stop it, or slow it down?
We can't stop it but we can lessen its impact. One thing we'll all have to learn is adaptation, as always it will be the less propsperous who will feel the brunt of it.
I’ve got a solution but you’re not going to like it. It’s population control and reduction through proper policies. A world with 100 million people and not 7 billion can still function quite well with our technology, knowledge, and ingenuity. It takes 100 people to operate a copper mine to provide enough copper for 1/3 of the world. Now reduce that population by 90% and the demand drops and you have a millennium worth of copper rather than just a decade.
I know the climate change hoax is totally unsupported by science, but I do support your idea. It is the problem underlying all the "symptoms" (pollution, depletion of natural resources, etc.) that are considered only in isolation. And for society, why are we following reverse-Darwinism by paying the least capable of us to breed in excess, while enslaving the most productive to pay for the offspring of the intellectually- and motivationally-challenged?
For the purposes of this thread, AGW is real and it's reality goes unchallenged. What can we do to stop it, or slow it down? Or at least mitigate the effects of it? If climate change alarmists had their way completely, carte blanche to do whatever they want, what would they do?
Going under the (false) presumption of AGW being real, NOTHING can be done about it. Period.
Anyone who believes you can keep billions of people from ever acquiring air conditioning and refrigeration are not only ignorant but have a very unique sense of entitlement.
Ten times a year, the Naval Station Norfolk floods. The entry road swamps. Connecting roads become impassable. Crossing from one side of the base to the other becomes impossible. Dockside, floodwaters overtop the concrete piers, shorting power hookups to the mighty ships that are docked in the world’s largest naval base.
The Naval station is sinking faster than sea level is rising..
..if sea level rise stopped tomorrow.....it would still sink
Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Survey of Subsidence in Hampton Roads, Virginia (USA)

Land Subsidence and Relative Sea Level Rise in the Southern Chesapeake Bay Region
This land subsidence helps explain why the region has the highest rates of sea-level rise on
the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Data indicate that land subsidence has been responsible
for more than half the relative sea-level rise measured in the region

100% agree.
-With machine learning and automation we need less people but better people
- the worst people amongst us are reproducing
- we have breeding standards for dogs why not people?
- leverage technology to enact Darwinism and survival of the fittest to remove genetic defects
What's the proper term then? I still have time to edit. I was thinking proponent but that implies they want global warming. I'm supposing that they don't want it, they are alarmed by it, and want to find a solution.
And for the record where I stand is that global warming is largely irrelevant because a clean earth is beneficial to all of us, global warming or not.
Honestly, there's nothing specifically that needs to be done for climate change.
Being good stewards of the earth and conserving non-renewable resources so future generations have a chance is all that's needed. Doing that will have the side effect of theoretically mitigating AGW, should it be an issue.
So the only real fight between AGW sceptics and activists is terminology. Ultimately, everyone (short-sighted corporations/politicians aside) all wants the same thing: a sustainable earth with clean air and water.
If the Dems had an iota of common sense, they'd focus on that (which every regular person can relate to) rather than focus on ivory tower intangible concepts.

no... from my link it says two peer reviewed papers both say the same thing
the land is sinking faster than sea level is rising
"Data indicate that land subsidence has been responsible
for more than half the relative sea-level rise measured in the region"
more than half....greater than
..and if sea level rise stopped tomorrow....it would still sink
