Implications of global warming: Two eras

Author

Listed:
  • Graves, Philip E.

Abstract

Attempts to ponder meaningfully about the very long-term implications of global warming requires thinking about long-standing trends in other variables that would be expected to interact with climate change over time. One can envision two quite different “eras,” a first filled with considerable danger of both economic and environmental collapse. But—if humanity survives the first period—a second period of great promise for humanity and the global ecosystem is likely to emerge. The periods are discussed sequentially with an emphasis on the changing interactions among global climate, global population, international trade, population ageing, income growth and technological advance.
