Adapters

Strengthening our ability to respond to climate change is a sensible no-regrets strategy. Natural disasters happen, even if the climate isn’t changing. Recovering from things like hurricanes and wild fires is important in any world, and many places are not prepared for it now.

Migration has been every species’ adaptation to climate change. Scientists who saw the sub-Saharan droughts coming many years ago predicted the populations would be destroyed, but some survived by migrating. Of course, political strife is often a result of migration. The slower the change, the less the suffering.
