For most, the debate over climate change has moved from whether it exists or not, to how to deal with it. Some suggest adaptation is the key... higher seawalls and better drainage systems to prevent the inevitable while others say that that’s giving in and the focus needs to be on mitigating harmful emissions. Much of the discussion, though, is focused on what the best combination of the two is. Today on the show we debate the strategies of adaptation and mitigation in terms of climate change. John Rudolph hosts.
