All righty then, adaptation it is, and soon:

"...an avalanche of cold water from the melting Greenland ice sheet appears to
be slowing the ocean circulation to levels not experienced in more than 1,000
years. That’s the conclusion of a bold new attempt to combine temperature
measurements and climate-related data scrounged from coral samples, ice cores
and tree rings to track the worrying decline of the critical Atlantic Ocean
phenomenon. The new research, published Monday in Nature Climate Change, used
observations and studies of sea-surface temperatures to produce a new index —
one that charts the waning force of the Atlantic meridional overturning
circulation (AMOC), one of the planet’s most important circulation systems...."
Good luck with that.Greg

Published online 25 March 2015Current climate engineering proposals do not come
close to addressing the complex and contested nature of conceivable 'climate
emergencies' resulting from unabated greenhouse-gas emissions.References
