One of the few exceptions was a 18 April 2008 piece in Science Magazine in the Policy Forum (under the topic "ecology")by Kiers et al. Perhaps that's a subtext for why so much of the scientific establishment is focused on mitigation- the fields of science they tend to work with deal with either prediction or mitigation. The agricultural and natural resource folks are somewhere possibly below the radar screen, yet that is going to be where adaptation happens and where it is already happening.
