Currently, all efforts are geared towards reversing climate change. OTOH I feel that we should also be prepared for the ensuing eventuality of climate change, as it is clear that the current civilisation as we know will collapse under dramatic climate change. What can be possibly done to prepare for such an onslaught ? I don't mean something ridiculous like the movie 2012, but engineered ways to deal with the catastrophe that could possibly hit us or our kids generation in the nest 50-100 years.
Either we have to engineer processes that can withstand climate change OR
We have to engineer the human gene to withstand the oncoming onslaught, so even if current processes are gone, we'll be able to engineer new ones to deal with the existing climate.
AND
we prepare underground or space facilities to wait out the aftermath of a nuclear war
- _ph_ 10y agoWe currently have all the means to prevent a catastrophic climate change. But we are not using them. It seems to be controversial to replace coal with wind and solar. How would you expect even more radical engineering project to succeed? Besides, in between would be a collapse of our civilization - something we really should try to prevent.
- deepGem 10y agoI am 100% aligned with preventing climate change, but after Trump got elected, my hopes of prevention are diminishing. Hence the rhetoric.
