Man’s Role in Changing the Face of the Earth. It was one of the twentieth century’s major statements about how people and their civilizations had changed the environment.

A FANTASTIC book that I stumbled upon myself many years ago. Far too little known. Also, the writings of George Perkins Marsh that were a very early expression of these ideas.

Perhaps I've been spoiled by hanging out with people for years who have always seen resolving this issue as an opportunity to slow down with business as usual and create new ways of living in harmony with our planet. And, yes, bring artist, scientists, educators, engineers on board. Check out www.capefarewell.org from an innovative approach. We will adapt, but some people will be harder hit, and are being impacted by a changing climate (Bangladesh), and need help via clean technologies and bio-engineering. Here's to using the best of our creative minds to adapt to our climate, and see ourselves as a part of it, rather than subject to it or treating it like a subject.
