We reduce emissions to reduce long-term damage from climate change.
We adapt to reduce near-term damage from climate change.
New open access paper discussing how emissions mitigation and climate adaptation are complementary approaches to reducing climate damage:

Will the combination of adaptation and abatement somehow also help deal with stranded fossil assets?
Big creds for writing dice2023 into Python!:)

we have 2 problems and one of them is a contradiction to any and all "reducing emissions" fashion statements.

Scientific illiteracy is something we have to keep in mind and accommodate for, or the disconnect will grow
I encourage people with expertise in public communication to develop more effective approaches to communicate these results more broadly and effectively (or advise me on how to do so).
Maybe I'm wrong, but I read climate adaptation, and it's pretty vague what that would entail, as adapting (i.e. accepting) the change/damage we are creating in the climate.

Our government for all intents and purposes attacked us
