Thus the cover of the MIT Technology Review for May and June, which just reached me by snail mail. By way of introduction, Gideon Lichfield, the editor in chief, asks a straightforward question: “What would you pay to save the world?” Titles of the main parts of the issue are quite to my liking: “Mitigation,” “Adaptation,” and “Suffering.” The articles in the last and most appropriate part have plausible titles, too: “Learning to live in an apocalypse,” “The coming migration catastrophe,” and “How bad will climate change get?” Fair enough. But I am still surprised not to find in this issue any discussion of disaster management and its well-known cycle—preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation. To the best of my understanding, this cycle is at the core of the future for the human species that stretches for centuries. As I argue in my book on climate change, which is available for free on my Ca’ Bon Gallery website (www.cabongallery.org), everything else is a waste of time. Another thing that is missing from the issue in question is the likelihood that climate change and environmental degradation will eventually lead to war, which is likely to turn global sooner or later. Alas, not even MIT is up to the task any longer!
