California Issues Draft of State Climate Adaptation Strategy. By Margot Roosevelt, LATimes, August 4, 2009. "Along with California's efforts to crack down on its own greenhouse gas emissions, state officials have begun preparing for the worst: heat waves, a rising sea level, flooding, wildlife die-offs and other expected consequences from what scientists predict will be a dramatic temperature increase by the end of this century. California's Natural Resources Agency on Monday issued the nation's first statewide plan to 'adapt' to climate change. It offers strategies to cope with threats in seven sectors from firefighting to public health and water conservation. Resources Secretary Mike Chrisman called the plan an effort to acknowledge the problem and suggested that Californians 'recognize their role in solving that problem and alter their behavior so that the change lasts'... The public may submit comments to the draft over the next 45 days (e-mail address is adaptation@resource.ca.gov.)" Press Release, August 4, 2009.
