Answer:

Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.

Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.

For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.

For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.

So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.

castortr0y [4]

If the coast-to-coast distance is about 2900 miles, it will take about ...

... (2900 mi)/(186000 mi/s) ≈ 15.6 ms

for the signal to travel coast-to-coast at light speed.

_____

There are time delays due to the amplifiers and repeaters required in the path, and due to the fact that the signals don't actually travel at the speed of light in a wire.

A test of internet speed between Seattle and Washington, DC shows a round-trip time of about 87 ms when traffic is light. Modern communication channels tend to be faster than the telegraph (especially when measured in words per minute).
