Can sustainable tourism survive climate change? (2011, background): “Additional arguments against mitigation include the idea that investments in adaptation may subsequently provide a disincentive to mitigate – for instance, if a ski company has invested in snow-making capacity or relocated to higher altitudes, it may be comfortable with climate change prospects as l”
