Final Words
So far as we can reason from the assumed gradual changes in
climate, their impacts will be no more severe, and adapting to them
will be no more difficult, than for the range of climates already
on earth and no more difficult than for other changes humanity
faces. However, because we cannot rule out major changes in ocean
currents, atmospheric circulations, or other natural or social
surprises, we need to be alert to any substantial probability or
signs of such changes that would require responses not considered
in our report.
