Sorry for nitpicking but... Climate change is an indirect consequence of industrial revolution. Industrial revolution has saved orders of magnitude more lives and fed more people than climate change is likely to affect.
- Kototama 5y agoSo let's say industrial revolution started 400 years ago (more or less). How long you think climate change will impact life on earth?
- kbelder 5y agoI would guess 150 years. I think by the beginning of next century we'll have the engineering prowess to use large-scale geoprojects to basically set the climate to whatever we want. (As long as we don't suffer a massive world-wide societal or economic collapse in the interim).
