Some suggest that we adapt to
climate
Use synonyms
change
rather than try to prevent it. I take issue with Use synonyms
this
assertion for two main reasons, which will be explained below.
Linking Words
To begin
with, adapting to Linking Words
climate
Use synonyms
change
is a short-term solution. Use synonyms
This
is because the Earth’s Linking Words
climate
is largely unpredictable and still poorly understood despite the advances in Use synonyms
climate
prediction technologies. Use synonyms
Thus
, Linking Words
adaptation
measures that seem effective for today’s Use synonyms
climate
may fail to address the long-term effects of Use synonyms
climate
Use synonyms
change
. Use synonyms
For instance
, city planners can relocate cities Linking Words
further
inland in response to rising sea levels, but these cities may eventually suffer from low precipitation and water shortage Linking Words
due to
a sudden Linking Words
change
in cloud formation. In Use synonyms
this
sense, Linking Words
adaptation
proves a short-sighted measure to a phenomenon yet to be fully understood.
Use synonyms
Furthermore
, preventing Linking Words
climate
Use synonyms
change
would be a more sensible course of action. Use synonyms
This
is because Linking Words
while
Linking Words
adaptation
deals with the effects of Use synonyms
climate
Use synonyms
change
to some degree, preventative measures tend to target the root causes of Use synonyms
climate
Use synonyms
change
. One prime example of a prevention strategy would be switching to renewable energy in order to curb human carbon output - a primary contributor to global warming. Use synonyms
This
measure serves humankind longer than Linking Words
adaptation
measures like large-scale installation of air-conditioning in cities to bring down temperature levels.
In conclusion, I am adamantly opposed to the idea of adapting to Use synonyms
climate
Use synonyms
change
not only because it is a half measure but Use synonyms
also
because its alternative – prevention – is far more practical from a long-term future perspective.Linking Words
