Subject: Research Need: Develop Climate Adaptation Scenarios
Comment:
As of 2013, we cannot predict the resultant 2050 world. 2050 is science fiction. As far as climate impacts occurring within the 2013-2050 timeframe, some climate impacts will tend to dampen energy demand and GHG production, whereas some adaptations may consume relatively more energy (example: widespread use of energy-intensive desalinization to address water shortages). A GHG Climate Adaptation Futures Scenario Group should be convened to develop multiple 2050 scenarios over a range of atmospheric GHG levels (some well beyond the IPCC consensus). Policy, GHG impact, and adaptation planning learnings from these scenarios should be logged. Andrew Guzman�s book Overheated serves as one starting point. Andrew Guzman is Professor of Law and Director of the Advanced Law degree Programs at Berkeley Law School, University of California, Berkeley.
