DESCRIBE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION AS two main approaches USED TO  tackle the problem of global warming and climate change.  compare the two approaches along the following dimensions:     Relative size of benefits versus costs. Relative timing of benefits versus costs (e.g., immediate or distant). Why does this matter a lot? Based on the current state of scientific and economic knowledge, which of the two types of policy is most likely to be cost-effective? Does it mean it will be used? Explain.
