Here's a better idea for this so - called «governor» to consider: Take a look at the research done by your alma mater, Texas A&M, on global warming and the effect it will have on Texas (higher temps and greater stress on water through decreased rainfall and increased evaporation)... then stop poopooing the efforts to mitigate the effect humans are having on climate change.

«Other priorities for the Nigerian delegation at UNGA 72 include strengthening human rights institutions; the rule of law; support for Internally Displaced Persons as a result of terrorist acts and recent flooding, and mitigating the effects of climate change.

Investigating how space radiation affects astronauts and learning ways to mitigate those effects are critical to further human exploration of space, and NASA needs to consider these risks as it plans for missions to Mars and beyond.

«To mitigate the effects of climate change, we can talk about two types of options: to attack it at its origin, by eliminating or reducing the human factors that contribute to it (such as, reducing emissions, controlling pollution, etc.) or developing strategies that allow for its effects to be reduced, such as, in the case that concerns us, increasing green areas in cities, using, for example, the tops of buildings as green roofs,» states the University of Seville researcher, Luis Pérez Urrestarazu.

These results imply a greater potential than previously thought for fossil fuel industry efficiency improvements to mitigate the effects of human activity on the climate.

Growing human vulnerability (due to growing numbers of people living in exposed and marginal areas or due to the development of more high - value property in high - risk zones) is increasing the risk, while human endeavours (such as by local governments) try to mitigate possible effects.

This project addresses the NSBRI's Human Factors and Performance Team goal to develop tools to assess crew performance in real time and evaluate countermeasures to mitigate the effects of fatigue, circadian misalignment and work - overload.

«In the spring the qualities of heavy, dense, damp and cool are in the environment, and because of seasonal effects, we as humans start to accumulate some of those same qualities in our bodies, especially after the wintertime when we've been eating warm, heavier foods that mitigate the cold and dry qualities of winter,» explains Erin Casperson, an Ayurveda Health Counselor and Yoga Journal LIVE!

While pressing for cuts in greenhouse - gas emissions and better efforts to control hunting, both legal and illegal, the participating scientists concluded on an optimistic note, saying they were «optimistic that humans can mitigate the effects of global warming and other threats to polar bears, and ensure that they remain a part of the Arctic ecosystem in perpetuity.»

I think an addition or subtraction of say 100 watts per square meter would cause a slow change in climate and global temperature, and humans could easily mitigate the long term effects fairly easier, or steps could taken to change our world in some manner if that was seen as needed in the future.

If human effects are small or even of a similar order compared to natural variation, then every dollar we spend trying to mitigate climate change is a dollar thrown away.

That is decidedly not how this paper is used in public discourse though, I think in many instances this paper is used to say that not only do humans cause global warming, but they are also the major cause and the degree of effect on nature / climate is in some way dangerous and needs to be mitigated.

(1) Human - generated CO2 and the associated global warming is a big problem for the coming century, although there are some engineering strategies that could (with other side - effects) mitigate it.

Becoming embedded in planning processes, integrated within existing programs such as disaster risk management and water management, adaptation strategies are increasingly being adopted to mitigate the effect of global warming on humans.

Therefore mitigating global warming will address both the synergistic harm that it wreaks in concert with the non-climate damage to the environment, and it will address the direct effect that it will have on species and ecosystem - an effect that, if warming is not properly addressed for a few more decades, will make all other human impacts pale by comparison.

E.g., research assumes greenhouse gas emissions cause warming without explicitly stating humans are the cause»... carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating global climate change» (4a) No position Does not address or mention the cause of global warming (4b) Uncertain Expresses position that human's role on recent global warming is uncertain / undefined «While the extent of human - induced global warming is inconclusive...» (5) Implicit rejection Implies humans have had a minimal impact on global warming without saying so explicitly E.g., proposing a natural mechanism is the main cause of global warming»... anywhere from a major portion to all of the warming of the 20th century could plausibly result from natural causes according to these results» (6) Explicit rejection without quantification Explicitly minimizes or rejects that humans are causing global warming»... the global temperature record provides little support for the catastrophic view of the greenhouse effect» (7) Explicit rejection with quantification Explicitly states that humans are causing less than half of global warming «The human contribution to the CO2 content in the atmosphere and the increase in temperature is negligible in comparison with other sources of carbon dioxide emission»»

The effects of climate on human society, and our ability to mitigate and adapt to them, are mediated by social factors, including gender.

Although terrestrial carbon sequestration regularly occurs in nature, there are human actions that can help maintain and enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of land — and help mitigate the effects of climate change.

«Too expensive to act»: Some contrarians admit that global warming exists, is caused by humans, and indeed has harmful effects, but assert that it is too expensive to mitigate global warming (they ignore the principle of risk management, use economic scenarios that ignore benefits of new technologies, assume a high «discount rate», and ignore devastating future economic costs of unbridled global warming).
