We'd like to go further than that and impress upon both the government and the public the importance of adapting to the situation. To some extent, climate change will happen regardless of the efforts we make to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We can mitigate the effects of climate change, but we can't stop global warming. We recommend that the government examine the impact of and ways of adapting to global warming. Make no mistake, we'll have to adapt.
