1、Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries.Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades.Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libr
2、aries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities.Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连接） to replace flooded roads and highways.But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and
3、fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken.Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man.The loss of glaciers（冰川） there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agricu
4、lture.Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops.Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed.He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring.His fields of ic
5、e supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉） water.Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3 of water.Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever.Warming will overtake them.But he is providing a few years during
6、 which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet.In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses（which reflect light back to space） has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region.While Spain as
7、a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased.This example should act as an inspiration for all cities.By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to cli
8、mate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice.The outcome is still far from clear.But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”.More ordinary forms of adaptation ar
9、e happening everywhere.A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria.Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping.But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops.Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by
10、growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently.This is common sense.But some suggestions for adapting are not.When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for busine
11、ss as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways.But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many ot

17、rench citizens because it has been a colony（殖民地）of the French Republic since 1946.In theory, they should live by the French law.However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of“lawlessness” in the world.The lives of th
18、ese people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenn
