Some
of the
changes include deleting a summary that stated: «
Climate change has global
consequences for
human health and the environment.»
Using the American slang, the
human response to
climate change doesn't amount to a hill
of beans — little
of consequence has resulted from this flurry
of human activity.
More studies are needed to fully evaluate both the intended and unintended health
consequences of efforts to improve the resiliency
of communities and
human infrastructure to
climate change impacts.
By focusing on the
consequences of climate change rather than its scientific causes, some experts suggest that Mr. Nash succeeded in circumventing a divisive political debate over global warming and the extent to which
human activity contributes to it.
The issues highlighted in the document include: reconnect science and policy, catalyze rapid and transformative
changes in
human behavior towards the environment, develop new insights on water - land interactions, accelerate the implementation
of environmentally - friendly renewable energy, integrate biodiversity across the environmental and economic agendas, manage the unintended
consequences of climate change mitigation and adaptation, and develop a new approach for minimizing risks
of novel technologies and chemicals.
The
consequence of a layperson falling for the argument is that they will dismiss the threat
of human induced
climate change altogether.
The conference offered a unique opportunity for scientists to exchange views on the
consequences and risks to natural and
human systems as a result
of changes in the world's
climate.
--
change its brief and focus away from simply investigating
human - induced
