Carbon Challenge

摘要

This is a terrible time to be an engineer in the sense that there is a real problem. And the problem is not how soon we have a Utopian world to live in, but whether we can get on top of climate change before it gets on top of us. Once we lose control of the climate, all we have got are a few desperate geo-engineering options to try and then we have got to take what is coming to us. And one of the most depressing things would be that what is coming to us is coming very slowly. We would be sitting there knowing that things were going to get worse - more pressure on water and food production - for quite a long time. The fallout from that would be pretty severe.
