Climate change should be regarded as a manageable factor rather than an existential threat to global food supplies. Humanity has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to increase agricultural productivity faster than population growth, says Karl Iver Dahl-Madsen.
Le changement climatique doit être considéré comme un facteur gérable plutôt que comme une menace existentielle pour l'approvisionnement alimentaire mondial. L'humanité a démontré à maintes reprises sa capacité à accroître la productivité agricole plus rapidement que la population, affirme Karl Iver Dahl-Madsen.
The devastating Nepal-Tibet disaster was quickly linked to climate change. Yet its precise causes remain under investigation, while glacier collapses, ice-rock avalanches and outburst floods have occurred for centuries. Population growth, development and vulnerability also shape the scale of the losses.
