The latest IPCC report detailing climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability predicts future food and water supply insecurities and calls for both mitigation and adaptation, reports the Guardian. "Contrarians have tried to spin the conclusions of the report to incorrectly argue that it would be cheaper to try and adapt to climate change and pay the costs of climate damages. In reality the report says no such thing. The IPCC simply tells us that even if we manage to prevent the highest risk scenarios, climate change costs will still be high, and we can't even grasp how high climate damage costs will be in the highest risk scenarios," concludes The Guardian.
