Sri Lanka: Can people tackle climate change, when science remains uncertain?

Scientists may debate and differ on the exact nature and manifestation of climate change impacts. Are the changes in temperature and rainfall simply an anomaly, or are they an indication of long term climatic change? But farmers and fishermen throughout the country are experiencing changed seasons year on year, and for many the past four years have been the worst in terms of aberrant weather.Many dry zone villages have teetered between flood and drought and flood again, eroding their capacity to cope with normal shocks that are part of an agrarian life, according to The Sunday Times.
