Prof.James Lovelock on �Adaptation to Climate Change

On whether we are capable as a species of tackling climate change:I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. We're very active animals. We like to think: "Ah yes, this will be a good policy," but it's almost never that simple. Wars show this to be true. People are very certain they are fighting a just cause, but it doesn't always work out like that. Climate change is kind of a repetition of a war-time situation. It could quite easily lead to a physical war. That's why I always come back to the safest thing to do being adaptation.

"I've always said that adaptation is the most serious thing we can do"

21^st Century Technologies

Space activity requires aggressive implementation of advanced technology
The curse of Technology is that if we rest on our laurels, it will overtake us
Vital technologies with critical implications for space operations in general and humans human spaceflight in particular are racing along in this early 21^st century. They include
Fully reusable rockets
Laser Communications
Automation, Robotics, Autonomy aided by ultra broadband and ML - AI
Nuclear Power and Propulsion
Molecular Biology - Genetic Engineering
