Take it in stride

Take it in stride

We are in this situation because of sudden change.

“The climate has changed before humans, and in most cases scientists know why. In all cases we see the same association between CO₂ levels and global temperatures. And past examples of rapid carbon emissions (just like today) were generally highly destructive to life on Earth.”

Therefor I think we should not respond in kind.  Abrupt change to society can be just as dangerous as abrupt CO₂ emissions so I think we should just take it in stride and figure it out as we go.    Architecture is a good medium to start this trend because it is a slower field of work but if we go out and think we are going to change the world over night or if the governments try to change the world overnight there will be societal upheaval.  Technology follows a rule called Moore’s Law that essentially states that technology will increase at an exponential rate and if we assume this trend can continue into other fields of science then as time goes on we can expect technology to help decrees the energy and climate issues.  At that time we as architects should be willing to take our knowledge as creative critical thinkers and help adapt these new technologies into our designs to slowly change our social environment.

Or we can just go live in the arctic when we get to hot.
