Canadian Politics Today

And that is the trillion dollar question. The world seems divided between people who would rather throw money at the problem even if the money has little chance of making a difference and those who think it waste of time to even try because any effort is doomed to fail. In the end we will need to adapt to whatever changes come.

your forever adaptationOnly - noMitigation drumbeat: again, you have never attached any timeline, any requirements, any applied specifics, any related policy, any global/regional associations to your adaptation drumbeat!. As I recall, your only revelation has been to suggest that all adaptation will be done, "in isolation at the local level"... whatever the hell that really translates to for a global community of nations subject to border free atmosphere, oceans and environmental impacts.

you continue to be as vague as ever, as vague as possible, simply alluding to some uncertain and imprecise futures adaptation requirement; something that clearly plays to your, again, "do nothing today, delay at all costs" mantra. Again, you used to only speak of, "do nothing/delay", in terms of mitigation... now you've begun to openly apply it to your nebulous ramblings on adaptation as well - to, as you say, "whatever changes will come"! You forever contest the legitimacy of any shifts towards alternative energy sources... anything that might reduce some degree of reliance on the status-quo fossil-fuel usage while reducing emissions and working to stabilize atmospheric concentrations.
