How Will Ingenuity Handle a Warming Planet?

Humans are altering the Earth system at every scale, up to and including the global climate. Going forward, how will human ingenuity handle a warming world? We're all familiar with the doomsday predictions of more droughts, fires, floods and economic disaster, but what are the possibilities for thriving in a changed climate? Our species is innovative and adaptive-rarely more so than when responding to stress and conflict. Join Future Tense to consider the question before us in these Anthropocene days: What opportunities does global climate change present for making our societies more equitable, prosperous and resilient in the long run? Part 1 of 6 - 'Futures of Climate Chage' featuring Brad Allenby, President's Professor of Sustainable Engineering, Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics, Arizona State University.
