It ain't half hot Mum !

A poll reveals that many people do not believe that climate change is down to human activity. I wouldn't go that far myself, and I think that reducing the amount of CO2 and methane and stuff that we put into the atmosphere is a worthy endeavour in its own right, but what bothers me is that suppose the doubters are right, and that climate change is going to happen anyway - what (if any) plans are we putting in place to deal with the consequences? Our whole strategy seems to be based on the idea that we can stop it happening, but suppose we can't? Shouldn't at least some of our effort and resources be being put towards preparing for what we will then have to deal with?
