Adapting to the Upheavals of Climate Change
Joel Darmstadter, a former senior fellow at RFF, shares his thoughts on the "perils of global warming" in a Letter to the Editor for the New York Times.
...It’s a situation that could hardly be more critical. We in the United States and other nations around the world need — urgently — to begin putting into place an effective regimen to meet the challenge of managing the upheavals that the fossil fuel combustion era has burdened the present generation to deal with. Adaptation cannot be a second cousin to mitigation. It is an imperative that our national leadership must forthrightly acknowledge.
