American Institute of Physics : Governments have wasted too much time to successfully implement some of the easiest strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions says Rosina Bierbaum of the University of Michigan. Bierbaum was speaking at the American Institute of Physics Industrial Physics Forum held in Seattle, Wahsington. Nor will simply relying on adaptation strategies be sufficient to deal with the impending impacts of climate change. “Any measures are only going to get more costly and difficult to implement” as time goes on, she said, quoting an old proverb: “It is easier to close the jaws of an alligator when they are small....Our alligator is entering its rebellious adolescence.”
