  mitigate AND prepare/adapt

  Many of the comments remind me of the Shrub saying about Iraq "its gotta be my way or your way and its not gonna be any way but mine."

  Yeah, we must cut GHGs, more rapidly than most propose so far. We have a stock of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere and ticking away for decades.

  and we have the impacts of the greenhouse gas effect all around us, with some islands already disappearing, shifts in seasons and migration of habitats and wacky weather in our warmest winter.

  It is no "distraction" to adapt to and prepare for these impacts. Especially since the new IPCC report indicates the poor nations will generally be hit by the results of our history of emissions. Our wealth, along with that of the other industrialized countries, must support the adaptation process in the nations that did little to create the problem.

  Under President Clinton and Veep Gore we produced valuable preparing for CC impacts, buried by the Shrub. see http://www.indigodev.com/prepcc.html
  for these and some excellent plans for other countries.
