The following article from ClimateScienceWatch.org was posted on Friday, December 11, 2009 and is available in its entirety at the following Web address: http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/californias_leadership_on_adaptation/ Title: "California’s Adaptation Strategy shows leadership that Senate climate bill should follow" Introduction: The final version of the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy released last week puts forth a set of wide-ranging recommendations for managing and adapting to a set of difficult climate change impacts throughout the state.  Meanwhile, a recent framework for climate legislation put forth by Sens. John Kerry, Lindsey Graham, and Joe Lieberman does not address dealing with impacts at all.  The US will put itself in a perilous position if California’s advice is not heeded:  “To effectively address the challenges that a changing climate will bring, climate adaptation and mitigation…policies must complement each other, and efforts within and across sectors must be coordinated.”
