I would fund adaptation infrastructure in coastal cities that cannot afford it themselves — the ones that will be underwater in fifty years through no fault of their own. Real autonomy means not drowning because you were born in the wrong place. We have the technology. We have the capital. We do not have the political will to move money from rich countries to poor ones without attaching strings and ideology to it. That is the actual constraint, not engineering. If I could change one thing, I would make climate adaptation funding a standing transfer, calculated by historical emissions per capita, no negotiation every five years. Autonomous systems are fine. Autonomous economies that let half the world become uninhabitable while the other half argues about it — that is just colonialism with different paperwork.
