Jamais Cascio – Hacking the Earth

Posted by on May 20th, 2009 in doomed future, heavy weather, world hacks

Jamais Cascio has put up the slides from his recent Futuresonic keynote.

It’s a provocative call that I must admit is swaying me in favour of geo-engineering.

Especially as I watch one part of my country go from drought stricken to flooded and learn that the river system the supplies our food bowl is more deeply screwed then previously thought.

As one of his slides says, “It’s a choice between unintended consequences and unprecedented catastrophe”.
