An icon of the environmental movement outlines a provocative approach for reclaiming our planet. According to Stewart Brand, a lifelong environmentalist who sees everything in terms of solvable design problems, three profound transformations are under way on Earth right now. Climate change is real and is pushing us toward managing the planet as a whole. Urbanization - half the world’s population now lives in cities, and 80 percent will by midcentury - is altering humanity’s land impact and wealth. And biotechnology is becoming the world’s dominant engineering tool.
In light of these changes, Brand suggests that environmentalists are going to have to reverse some long held opinions and embrace tools that they have traditionally distrusted. Only a radical rethinking of traditional green pieties will allow us to forestall the cataclysmic deterioration of the earth’s resources.
Whole Earth Discipline shatters a number of myths and presents counterintuitive observations on why cities are actually greener than countryside, how nuclear power is the future of energy, and why genetic engineering is the key to crop and land management. With a combination of scientific rigor and passionate advocacy, Brand shows us exactly where the sources of our dilemmas lie and offers a bold and inventive set of policies and solutions for creating a more sustainable society.
In the end, says Brand, the environmental movement must become newly responsive to fast-moving science and take up the tools and discipline of engineering. We have to learn how to manage the planet’s global-scale natural infrastructure with as light a touch as possible and as much intervention as necessary.

Wow, I literary just came here from reading an article about this type of magical thinking. Will wonders ever cease?
“Why the Greens should stop playing God
Realistic thinking about the state of the planet is almost extinct —- John Gray, 03 June 2019″
‘Everyone but the most stubborn climate denialists realises that an unprecedented change is taking place in the world that humans have inhabited throughout their history.
At the same time, as T.S. Eliot wrote in Four Quartets, “humankind cannot bear very much reality”, and thinking on the subject is increasingly delusional. A by-product of worldwide industrialisation based on fossil fuels, the shift that is underway was set in motion by human beings. It does not follow however that humans can stop it.
As climate scientists have pointed out, global warming will continue for hundreds or thousands of years after its proximate causes have been removed. The demands made by Extinction Rebellion – net zero carbon emissions for the UK by 2025, for example – are impossibly draconian. But even if they could be enforced, they would make little impact on greenhouse gases worldwide, or prevent the climate disruption that is already baked into the system. Green movements at the present time are expressions of magical thinking – attempts to ignore and escape reality, rather than understand and adapt to it.’

Speaking of John Gray, I would be ever so grateful if some generous soul would upload Gray’s “Straw Dogs:Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals” & “The Silence of Animals: On Progress and Other Modern Myths” Both are heart warmers & make great stocking stuffers for da kids.

Apnea is right with his vague out of date references; why should I tidy my house when it’ll just get dirty again and I’ll probably move in ten years? No! Much better to live and raise my children in my own filth. Thanks

endebe, all you or anyone needs look at are aggregate numbers. Put them on graphs and you’ve got a hundred, exponential growth hockey stick graphs.
I’ve been listening to y’all talk talk talk about tidying up your houses for over 30 years, but that’s all it is, is talk…….and lot’s of green washed shopping & experiences on retard levels consumer credit that was considered completely unacceptable 25 years ago. Paper it over eh?
There is no talking your way around the laws of physics, chemistry & biology. The banquet of consequences has begun & everyone knows. What are you gonna do? Nothing because it’s far too late for that & it could be no other way as per the Maximum Power Principle. Woe everyone’s kids.

Apnea
You are really going to the bargain bin self help pop psychologist author of the attractions “Men are from Mars..” for your science commentary?
Very good

* bloody autocorrect! ‘atrocious’ “Men are from Mars…” !

as for “it’s too late” - that is the equivalent of getting to your mid 40’s being overweight and in danger of heart disease, cancer or diabetes if you don’t start exercising and changing your eating habits, then deciding as you really should have taken more care of yourself in your 20’s and 30’s it is now “too late” to do anything about it.
Sure, a lot of climate change is locked in from existing emissions, that’s not an excuse to continue to make things worse and for longer!
