Actually the most comprehensive, complex science shows this," he adds. "More than two thousand scientists put together what might be the most elegant coordination of scientific findings in history-the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They did it to convince people who are not wired for this to realize the dangers.
"But unless you live in the Maldives or Bangladesh, it seems far away," Dr. Larry observes. "The dimension of time is a huge problem-if the pace of global warming were accelerated to a few years instead of over centuries, people would pay more attention. But it's like the national debt: I'll leave it to my grandchildren-I'm sure they'll think ofsome solution."
As Sterman observes, "Climate change will come over a long
time horizon that we can't see, so it's hard to convince people. Only the leaf-rustling problems get our attention, not the big ones that will kill us."
At one time, the survival of human groups depended on eco logical attunement. Today we have the luxury of living well using artificial aids. Or seem to have the luxury. For the same attitudes that have made us reliant on technology have lulled us into indif ference to the state of the natural world-at our peril.
So to meet the challenge of impending system collapse we need what amounts to a prosthesis for the mind.
