- Mitigation of GHG Emissions: talk of adapting to an inevitable global warming is often considered to be heresy. However, any rational consideration of the situation must take into account multiple mitigating strategies and should even face up to the possibility that mitigation may already be too late, or too difficult - even Ross Garnaut entertains only "a chance, just a chance, that humanity will act in time and in ways that reduce the risks of climate change to acceptable levels" (Time to Aim High on Climate Change - Ross Gittins / Sydney Morning Herald: September 10, 2008).

This edition OF WWWTools for Education offers a range of resources selected to present a broad view of the issues involved and available courses of action, with special reference to the distinctions between mitigation and adaptation, but with an emphasis on strategies for mitigation.
