Adapt or Die.. thats what evolutions is all about.....
US News started talking about something I think is really important. The next battle in the climate-change wars: preparing for and adapting to a warmer climate.
They write: "Even if people everywhere unplugged their appliances, left their cars home, and shuttered their factories today, enough fossil fuel emissions are already in the atmosphere to heat up the planet an additional 1 degree Fahrenheit this century, experts say. In reality, however, emissions are increasing--and scenarios put the likely temperature increases at 2.5 to 8 degrees over the same span. While politicians wrangle over mitigation, i.e., cutting emissions of gases like carbon dioxide and methane, some environmentalists and policymakers are increasingly focusing on the controversial concept of adaptation--preparing for changes increasingly seen as inevitable. Adaptation has long been the third rail of green politics for fear it would pull the focus away from fixing the problem. For many, however, the next debate in the climate-change debate is not why the planet is warming, or if we can stop it. It is this: How do we live with it?" [and in interesting note: our hominoid ancestors evolved every time there was a climate change... it's our cue to get bigger brains, stand upright... and now we need it more than ever]
so: bring on the agribots! bring on the living machines! seed banks!! While it is possible to stop & reverse what has been building since the industrial devolution, it won't happen if we dont have bellies full to actually scrub the CO2, and to deal with ocean circulations, and geoengineering and all the other neato fixes....
