What\\u2019s it all about?
The A-Bomb- No not that one. Why does no one talk about Adaptation? Of course we should and must keep working on inventing, scaling and investing in technologies that combat climate change, and help prevent the worst outcomes, but we\\u2019re already well down the path of negative climate feedback loops. We have to talk about, and invest in technologies that help mitigate the worst of what is already happening, and what\\u2019s to come. Floods, water shortages, food disruption, climate refugees and extreme weather events. They are here, we can\\u2019t ignore it. \\xa0
