So the politicians have finished arguing over the use of "very likely" versus "likely" and the final IPCC report is out. I recommend reading it since it's better than before. What will happen where you live and when...and so on.

But for me the most exciting thing is that we can do something about it! Just looking at the report and trying to relate to wattwatt, the section on "Adaptation and mitigation options" on page 14 looks speciifcialy at what can be done to mitigate climate change. From the summary table: "Energy: Strengthening of overhead transmission and distribution infrastructure;  underground cabling for utilities; energy efficiency; use of renewable sources; reduced dependence on single sources of energy". The policy required: "National energy policies, regulations, and fiscal and financial incentives to encourage use of alternative sources; incorporating climate change in design standards" and then the "Key constraints and opportunities to implementation" (Normal font = constraints; italics = opportunities):  "Access to viable alternatives; financial and technological barriers; acceptance of new technologies; stimulation of new technologies; use of local resources."

Better still the table "Selected examples of key sectoral mitigation technologies" looks at key mitigation technologies (regarding energy) and practices currently commercially available and key mitigation technologies and practices projected to be commercialised before 2030 (shown in italics): 

Improved supply and distribution efficiency; fuel switching from coal to gas; nuclear power; renewable heat and power (hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy); combined heat and power; early applications of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) (e.g. storage of removed CO2 from natural gas); CCS for gas, biomass and coal-fired electricity generating facilities; advanced nuclear power; advanced renewable energy, including tidal and wave energy, concentrating solar, and solar photovoltaics.
