IPCC 4AR - some major impacts are not avoidable, even withsubstantial mitigation, and serious adaptation measures areneeded. The potential for adaptation varies greatly, both between andwithin regions, e.g: in Australia and New Zealand. The presentation compares adaptation to mitigation, along with the costs of avoidingdangerous climate change, observed changes in North American waterresources during the past century, and adaptation measures.
