Description
Introduction If the Earth could communicate to its residents, a warning scripted on the clouds might read: Adapt, Mitigate or Die. With increasing evidence for the human contribution to increased carbon dioxide emissions and climate change, foresight and action are critical to evade an uninhabitable environment for future generations. The first part of this paper presents evidence supporting human-influenced climate change and its effects on crops and human health. Strategies by which the world's populace can adapt to a warmer environment or mitigate (lessen) the negative impact of climate change are found in the second part. Emphasis is placed on mitigation since effective mitigation strategies could decrease the need for adapting to higher global temperatures.
