Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Meeting in Paris, January 2007:
“We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation and suffering.  We are going to do some of each.  The question is what the mix is going to be.  The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be.” John Holdren
