Workshop 5

“Anthropogenic Climate Destabilization: A Worst-case Scenario”
Participant Statement

September 12–14, 2008 | Bellevue, Washington

< Previous | Main | Next >

Jerome C. Glenn

What are the three critical questions you would ask pertaining to “anthropogenic climate change: a worst-case scenario” – and why?

1. If climate change is beyond our control, what is the sequence of elements for a world plan to adapt?

2. How can we prevent our negative scenarios from becoming self-fulfilling and trigger better decisions instead?

3. How can a global energy-environment collective intelligence be implemented that will help turn around climate change?
