Climate
Science has effectively alarmed many people about the chances human activities will harm Earth's climate. More importantly, science and engineering can lessen worries about climate change. Technology can make adapting to climate change, offsetting emissions, and preventing emissions cheap and effective. The trick is easing in the changes when the technologies turnover, operating at the point where old things are substituted anyway. Hope is a better companion than fear. We explore and analyze ways to lessen fears and lift hopes about climate.
