How many times are you going to repeat that same old "DEBUNKED" statistic?

Run out of fingers and toes and perhaps a spouses.

I have been on a few missions through my church and have learned that many countries are not fixated on the mere talk of global warming and the mitigation of fossil fuels. Instead, they recognize the world is changing and are putting in the effort/money to ADAPT. Some examples that I have witnessed are:
1. Replenishing forests and restoring damaged ecosystems
2. Diversify crops so that they can adapt to changing climates.
3. Using alternate forms of energy..i.e. solar, wind, water
4. Developing plans to manage natural catastrophes.

And, there are more.

Instead of talking/arguing about what period we are now living in, isn't it more valuable to talk about how to adapt?

For the poster who keeps stating that the trillions of dollars invested is a waste of time. The concept of reversing the affects of global warming is two-fold; mitigating fossil fuels and adapting to the changes on the planet. I have witnessed with my own eyes that the dollars being spent are well worth it. Argue as you may, but the USA is behind several countries who instead of talking are putting plans into action.

Before you naysayers crush my post, during our missions, we worked side by side with scientists who are "up to speed" with global warming. I am not pulling what I have said out of my #$$. Mitigation of fossil fuels is not the ONLY thing scientists are addressing. To them, adapting is crucial. I think we all can understand this basic scientific concept: humans can not survive without food, water, or oxygen. How much money are you willing to spend to make certain you always have an ample supply of those three items?

Thanks for adding a voice of reason combined with real life experiences.
