The massive amount of scientific evidence supporting current climate projections makes it unlikely that the world will forego adjustment entirely. But solving the complex coordination and distributional problems that such adjustments will generate will not be easy, and, convinced that we cannot afford an aggressive mitigation strategy at a time when we are faced with so many other pressing challenges, policymakers could be tempted to defer action on the ground.
