Reflections
(Explore) I have been reading the reports on global warming at the IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. As a business school professor, I am particularly interested in how human communities, economies, and businesses will adapt to the challenges of the future. I have been studying the polar region and Greenland in particular because I think these places are the most affected right now--by studying how communities and economies in this region adapt, perhaps there can be lessons for all of us.
Once one gets over the shocking facts in the report--for example, there is now at least one model of ice melt that has the north pole free of ice, all year, by 2013--the interesting tone of the report is that adaptation will be highly localized. And indeed at my conference, where we had a number of environmentalists, the message was the same: While climate change is global, its effects and solutions will be highly localized. Right now we see a lot of "top-down" activity--Kyoto accord, Walmart's positive efforts--but in the future the resilience of our society will be based on local creativity and political courage.

Beautiful work Kevin and thank you for the scary information. Interesting Jane Goodall always said 'Think global act local" and I always thought that the best way. LIke the starfish philosophy, throw one back it will make a difference to that one. Such interesting thoughts you have brought back , thank you.
And this is distractingly beautiful

1) I so admire these Amsterdam "reflection in the water" photos.
2) I agree that local creativity is the driving force in adapting to change. Interesting thoughts.

Great photo !
And if your caption turns out to be true, then Ireland is bunched because political courage is something our politicians are lacking - along with intelligence, integrity and the will to serve the people rather than line their own pockets.

Interesting point ot view Kevin. It depends on how you define "local." Widespread changes due to global warming will require more than local efforts to deal with.

Beautiful reflections. Interesting text - I don't think as individuals we'll have much choice about adapting to global warming - it will have to be local.
Your fantastic color picture is my winner!
