Abstract

Climate policy should be focused adaptation instead of protection but it is not known yet what concrete climatic conditions we should adjust to through the various forms of accommodation. Of the three components of adaptation the active relationship of human population to climatic changes is the most critical factor as even 'climate researchers' do very little about preventing or slowing down changes leading to harmful consequences. Without clearing the relationship between climate protection and the adaptation to climatic conditions climate policy may get on wrong track. Care should be taken for avoiding (technocracy-minded) adaptation methods not harmonising with climate protection. The selection of the most adequate adaptation strategy cannot be based on purely economic considerations.
