VANCOUVER, BC — 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. “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.
