So even
2、 if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are theref
3、ore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: “ There is no one -size fits all adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or co
4、st. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floati
5、ng libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接 ) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating ga
6、rdens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川 ) there due to global warming represents an enormous th
7、reat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed 【 精品教育资源文库 】 the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored un
8、til the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉 ) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ic e reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them.
9、But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting. Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudd en increase of greenhouses(which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and a
10、ctually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process. In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a
11、glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save t
12、he planet”. More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in
13、many countries are also adapting like this either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to ad
14、apt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual. Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt
15、 in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others. 1.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
