Mitigation and Adaptation

Here is a short video put out by a group in Wisconsin about how climate change is expected to effect the area. It also has a short, sweet and to the point explanation and comparison of mitigation and adaption. 

Mitigation Vs. Adaptation

How should climate change be dealt with? Should we learn to deal with the changes that will come along with climate change, adaptation? Or should policy be put in place to deal with the emissions before it has a large impact, mitigation? The back and forth battle between mitigation and adaption is current and ongoing. Both sides have their benefits and drawbacks. The links and images below give an overview of each side of this controversy.
