Adaptation is about how fast and how

“Adaptation, adaptation and adaptation” is what meeting the climate challenge is about according to John Pettigrew.

The president of the Shepparton-based “Slap Tomorrow” believes that in building a future in which we can happily live is all about what we do and how quickly we adapt to the dynamics of a damaged atmosphere..

Adaptation of course, needs to be accompanied by intense and effective mitigation processes, according to the Scientific American.

It tell us that in “Continuing to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere will trigger "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people, species and 27 ecosystems," concludes a landmark draft U.N. science report expected to be approved this week.”

In a story headed: “Irreversible Climate Change Would Result from Continued Inaction” the Scientific American says: “Adapting to climate change, according to a final draft obtained by ClimateWire, can reduce some risks. But, it argues, "there are limits to its effectiveness, particularly if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced."
