With the world losing the battle against global warming so far, experts are warning that humans need to follow nature's example: Adapt or die.
That means elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, restricting certain developments, changing farming practices and ultimately moving people, plants and animals out of harm's way.
Adapting to rising seas and higher temperatures is expected to be a big topic at the U.N. climate-change talks in Copenhagen next week, along with the projected cost — hundreds of billions of dollars, much of it going to countries that cannot afford it.
That adaptation will be a major focus is remarkable in itself. Until the past couple of years, experts avoided talking about adjusting to global warming for fear of sounding fatalistic or causing countries to back off efforts to reduce emissions.

Fine, lets build a dam around Congress and the White House.
What stunning BS propaganda this article is! Unbelievable!
Agreed; what is leaking out of there is drowning us all.
The stilts can come in handy when wading through the BS.
They just can’t face the facts-—
>> The stilts can come in handy when wading through the BS.
You beat me to it. Dam it.
The enviro-whackos want to remove the dams.
You twits.
They’re making a big mistake trying to push AGW right now...many people are still unaware of the scandal. By pushing more and more stories they increase the possibility of the information spreading.
AP still publishing fairy tales, eh?
You gotta to be fast on your stilts, less you go under.
Only a suggestion here...but why don’t we get the Democrats all hyper to replace every dam in America...with higher dams? This survey-all-dams project would take up an entire summer and any money invested....would at least employ Americans in the construction trade.
...But now that the cat's out of the bag, we're gonna cash out this sucker for all it's worth.

True adaptation. We need to control all these things whether it gets warmer or colder. Methinks they are about control regardless of the reason.
Remember Bobcat’s “Move to where the food is?”
How bout “Move to where the LAND is”
Someone wants to live near the water, ain’t my fault if they get wet!
The great thing about Climategate is that it is bringing BOTH of these fraudsters down.
Just damn!
This headline from the army of socialist eco-totalitarian progandists would be laughable, were it not for the fact that over 50% of the sheep believe these endless Big Lies.
Hey, I live near the water and got wet. We learned to not keep anything important in our house, like furniture :^)
I told the wife she didn’t need any new stuff.
When you think about it, that’s exactly how we got polar bears 250,000 years ago, brown bears who moved north to hunt plentiful seals. When the seals could see them too easy, they turned white.
Liberals are busy tearing out all the dams. I see no reason they actually want to build them higher.
