Climate Change will be with us for a long time, creating havoc and making life difficult for many people. It will only get worse in the future.
The good news is that adaption is possible. We need the political will to make these changes, and the funding to make them happen. Challenge politicians to make better decisions!

Please share my wife's blog, and encourage our politicians to make the necessary changes.
#ClimateResearch, #ClimateMitigation and #ClimateAdaption are experiencing hurricane conditions in some parts of the world today (hello USA) but... play the long game. Here's a review and perspective with a touch of #LongNow thinking:
"All possible—but currently unknown—worlds in 2050, with a larger global population, unprecedented climate conditions with higher temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, sea level rise, disrupted ecosystems, changes in habitability and increased climate-induced displacement and migration, and the emergence of new geopolitical tensions, will require limiting society’s vulnerability both through mitigation measures to minimize further warming and through the implementation of innovative adaptation initiatives. The development of a skillful climate information system, based on the most advanced Earth system science, will be required to inform decision-makers and the public around the world about the local and remote impacts of climate change, and guide them in optimizing their adaptation and mitigation agendas. This information will also help manage renewable resources in a warmer world and strengthen resilience to the expected interconnected impacts of climate change. "

Saw this at the current exhibit at Wash U's Kemper Art Museum. The whole exhibit is about seeds and the art is lovely, but this really stunned me. The drawers are full of seeds taken from plants growing locally, which you can take.

" ... IAG said a climate adaptation framework must ensure costs were shared fairly across distinct groups and generations, and reflected “individual and collective responsibility”.
...
... climate adaptation should focus on ceasing to create new property risks, so that over the coming decades, the proportion of homes exposed to flooding would fall because the country was making better land-use decisions."
