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.

  • They move southwards along the Rockies into the plains then eastwards. These air masses collect warm and mist winds, originating in north Atlantic. The center of the air mass has high pressure and surrounded by lower air pressure at higher latitudes.
  • Antarctica and arctic circle are dominated by such air masses
