摘要:When looking at the current pace and progress of
international climate negotiations, option 3 (‘die’)
seems humankind’s most likely fate. But hopefully
that only is a false perception. False is also the tradeoff
implied by the heading above. There is no doubt
that we have to invest in both adaptation and mitigation.
Nevertheless, the question is legitimate as it
deals with the emphasis of our efforts. Ultimately,
managing the problem of climate change will require
the weighing of different kinds of risks arising from
climate change, adaptation and mitigation.
