The only real problem is conspiracy theorists. Those guys can't be convinced, no matter how much evidence you throw at them. For some odd reason they are really gullible towards folks like Christopher Monckton

Another big problem is the whole Climategate fiasco. Even people who understand that climate change is happening believe that the scientists are corrupt or some shit

>#3. The first cohabs have already been built unless I'm mistaken (CityCenter Vegas, Destiny USA, etc.) though they weren't called that until after the war. Does anyone you know live in a hab?

These places are just shopping malls at this point. I don't think anyone lives in them.

>#4. What's the consensus on the proposal to cover major cities in nanopolymer domes as a means of protecting them from climate change? Supposedly they go back to the turn of the century; the earliest mentions I can see which are serious rather than fiction date to 2008.

While the overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree that climate change is a threat, the public is very confused due to a huge disinformation campaign waged by fossil fuel interests. Some hacked e-mails in leaked in late 2009. They were manipulated to seem as if it represented a conspiracy of scientists to make global warming seem worse than it actually was. Since the majority of people don't even believe climate change to be real, we haven't even gotten to the stage of seriously considering policy options to mitigate or adapt to it.

As far as I am aware, there are no serious scientists who think that putting domes over our cities as a serious adaptation mechanism. In fact, that seems kind of absurd to our primitive brains.
