>continue life underground
How joyous, kek. Nah, thanks.
Life is out there, and if it's not lived like that, it's not worth it, IMHO.

>doesn't the main problem with warming boil down to politicians not being able to anticipate the unpredictable consequences and therefore prefer a sweeping approach which itself may be more disruptive for people's living conditions than figuring out what's appropriate on a local scale?
So your question is whether politicians should attempt to remediate locally, instead of prevent globally?

>It eats plants that captured atmospheric carbon.
yes, but if the cow dies and its corpse rots in the open air, that carbon is returned to the atmosphere. This is the same reason why not all forests are carbon sinks, for example. In sedimentary basins, were new accommodation space allows for more sedimentation to occur, plant material will be buried. In areas of constant erosion, plant material tends to rot before it can be buried.
