Or are the changes going to happen anyways? If we cannot avoid global climate change, what steps should be take to survive those changes?

Nope. At this point, we would have to take some greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere to stop global warming. Take a look at the Al Gore move, "An Inconvenient Truth."

As for survival, well, some of us will survive. Basically, I believe that if we are unable to slow or reverse global warming, so many of us will die due to climate disaster that our carbon emissions will drop back to natural levels. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

Well, believe it or not, the biggest contributor to global warming is the sun. Even if we turned off all man made carbon emitting sources, the earth would continue to warm. The earth has been warming for the last 16000 years with cyclic cooling as well. Until the solar output drops, temperatures will continue to rise. However, one must remember that the range of variation is still well within the climatic norms over the last 100000 years so "DON"T PANIC"!

It won't stop it but it would surely reduce it because if you want to stop it, you need to alter the other factors that also cause climate change e.g using ozone-destroying chemicals etc..

If we cannot avoid global climate change, we need to adapt ourselves to the new climate to survive e.g if it's too hot, we may need to increase our consumption of water and if it's too cold, we will increase our food rich in fats consumption. However, if such climate persists for a long time, by the process of evolution, our body will adapt itself e.g if it's too cold, our body will grow more fur and if it's too hot, we may develop a skin which reflects more heat... :)

the respond is somewhat complicated--yet right this is the gist of it: >via lowering carbonemissions we are able to very much cut back the worldwide warming--and hence the climate variations it motives. > The CO2 it relatively is already interior the ambience is going to take many years to leave the ambience--that we are only going to ought to regulate to. And meaning that, besides the shown fact that we are able to probably quit the continuied upward thrust in Earth's temperature, some outcomes will proceed--probably for something of our lifetimes. mostly this suggests persevered melting of icecaps and the end results of that on climate substitute. >"Surviving" such variations isn't probably a great situation--IF we act quickly to shift to selection capability and the different issues that must be completed. >What we are able to ought to regulate to are 2 important issues: a)shifts in agricultural production stemming from the climate substitute we will not avert and b)some flooding of coastal factors--which will requireeither leaving at the back of some factors or construction huge levees (nonetheless that shall be restrained to oceanfront factors with huge progression, like cities. If we persist in dumping massive quantities of CO2 in our environment, the percentages are extreme that our civilization as all of us realize it won't stay to tell the story--or if it does, it relatively is going to likely be substantially altered, and in basic terms after massive destruction and death.

If we reduce that carbon emmisions, it could stop the global warming change, but it's going to take a long time, maybe not in our lifetime to return things back to normal before all this started.
