How to cope with climate change? Observing that efforts to mitigate rising temperatures are falling disastrously short, John Barkdull argues that policy must shift toward adaptation and considers what this entails. As he assesses climate policies and politics since the landmark 1992 Rio conference, Barkdull explores approaches to transformational adaptation that will allow us to survive in a much warmer world. 
John Barkdull is associate professor emeritus of political science and director of global studies at Texas Tech University.
