Dear John,

Despite climate model projections showing real changes to our climate over the next century, history shows that human societies can adapt to changing climate conditions.

A new study published by the Fraser Institute scrutinizes a number of historical climate episodes related to rising water levels, including the Netherlands Delta Works, the Thames Barrier, the Canal control system of Venice, and river controls in Europe.

Changes to these ecologic systems – even sudden and severe – can be successfully responded to and controlled by societies at the local-to-regional level using standard engineering technologies and innovation, as well as government actions such as creating public notification and warning systems.

At the end of the day, we do not understand the climate enough to genuinely control it, and so, as history has shown us, we’re better off trying to adapt and develop technologies to respond to incoming changes.

Read the full study here [[link removed]], and be sure to share it with your friends and neighbours!

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President

The Fraser Institute
