PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayVANCOUVER—Despite climate model projections showing real changes to our climate over the next century, history shows that human societies can adapt to changing climate conditions, finds a new essay published by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Changes to ecologic systems, even fairly rapid ones, can be successfully responded to by societies at the local and regional levels using conventional engineering and innovation,” said Ken Green, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute and author.
Adapting to Climate Change around the World examines the potential for climate adaptation in modern societies and how to most effectively respond to projected climate changes, including higher temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events such as floods.
The study scrutinizes a number of historical climate episodes related to rising water levels, including the Netherlands Delta Works, the Thames Barrier, the Canal control system of Venice, and river controls in Europe all showing that changes to these ecologic systems--even sudden and severe--can be successfully responded to and controlled by societies at the local-to-regional level using standard engineering technologies and innovation, as well as government actions such as creating public notification and warning systems.
Similarly, the essay reviews how extremes of heat in two very different societies (Ahmedabad India and the United States) can be managed with currently available technology and engineering.
“At the end of the day, we do not understand the climate enough to genuinely control it, and so, as history has shown us, we’re better off trying to adapt and develop technologies to respond to incoming changes,” Green said.
