Adaptability to a changing climate

I have been doing some work recently related to how people will adapt to climate change.  In Alaska, we seem to  be  experiencing change at a faster rate than other places.  Infrastructure impacts, including the need to relocate who communities, are among the more tangible manifestations of the changing climate phenomena. 

I am  currently reading a Health Impact Assessment  from the State of Alaska's Epidemiologist on emerging and potential human health effects from the changing climate.  Unlike many of the "sky is falling" scenarios advanced by environmental interest groups, the State report is a more rigorous and realistic evaluation.
