Climate has no 'new normal' – adaptation is the only way forward
Original: Hoping for a ‘new normal’ climate is pointless. We must learn to adapt
Commentators writing on The Conversation argue that the idea of a 'new normal' climate is meaningless, because conditions will keep changing rather than settling into a stable state. They say adaptation, not hoping for stability, should be the focus of climate policy. The piece adds to ongoing debate about how societies should plan for continuously shifting weather and environmental conditions.
Why now: Continuing extreme weather and shifting climate conditions keep the question of how societies should adapt in public discussion.
