Adjustment Is Extra Worthwhile Than Injury Management – Watts Up With That?

Clintel.org just released a nice press release about the idea of ​​preparing for climate change, rather than the controversial idea of ​​destroying the fossil fuel industry in the hopes that reducing carbon emissions will somehow improve the climate .

So far, we have not been able to measure the impact of additional CO2 on the climate, although some believe the impact is between 1.5 and 4.5 degrees per doubling in CO2 concentration. We can’t even be sure, because there are credible estimates that are below one degree.

So it seems sensible to spend our hard earned money adjusting to whatever happens. Adaptation works when the changes are natural or artificial. The article is from Guus Berkhour and Marcel Crok from the Netherlands, where they understand customization better than most. Your dykes have a breakage probability of 1 in 10,000 years.
