Introduction. Climate change : where are we now? -- Al Gore and the greenhouse gas theory : Plan A -- Natural climate change : GHGs are not the whole answer -- Plan A, mitigation : a bridge too far? -- Plan B, the adaptation solution -- Adaptation through reflectivity and geoengineering -- Political challenges -- "Plan B" as insurance -- Where from here? : next steps as well as summary and conclusions.
Though the Paris Agreement on climate change was a significant achievement, most authorities agree that its measures to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions will be insufficient to offset the forecasted increase in global warming. Climate expert Roger A. Sedjo argues we must also begin planning adaptation strategies--Plan B--which enable societies to anticipate and protect against the worst effects of inevitable climate change.
