climate commission files report
After some delay, the Alaska Climate Impact Assessment Commission has finished its final report. Its available online at the commissions Web site. Just from a skim, its well-written and got some interesting stuff I really hadnt known much about -- impacts on insurance coverage, international competition on shipping routes, etc. It uses strong language about many of the impacts happening, but doesnt blame them on human activities or recommend any kind of mitigation strategies -- its all about adaptation, as the commission said all along. The group had the option of continuing its work, but chose to pass the ball to the govs sub-cabinet. Also included in the report are written comments from individual departments, which should be interesting. In terms of legislative recommendations, there are a few specific ones, but no dollar figures. And, with less than 30 days left in a busy session, I cant imagine there will be much attention paid to them.
