Climate Conversations: After the virus

Posted

Clyde Burnett, Peak to Peak. Will climate change disappear? Will Earth or Human response change? Will family structure change after nine months?

 

Some of the social isolation practices will live on after the virus. The clear air after the transport minima will continue to aid renewable energy use. Good! Cooperative grocery shopping will be encouraged by neighbors. Perhaps a few evening meals and socialization could take place.

The Everglades Foundation insists that Science cannot be quarantined. I wonder! I suspect that economics may dominate the future. 

AGU promises programs of science cooperation and development will continue with support.

The frantic purchases of guns with social isolation fails logic and continued need. Will political or ethnic factions become organized as future targets for gang warfare?

 Will our new habits become the new human response to climate change?
