Imagine a planet where North American and Eurasian navies
are squaring off over shipping lanes through an acidified,
ice-free Arctic. Centuries later, their northern descendants
retreat southward as the recovering sea freezes over again.
And later still, future nations plan how to avert an
approaching Ice Age... by burning what remains of our fossil
fuels. These are just a few of the events that are
likely to befall Earth and human civilization in the next
100,000 years. And it will be the choices we make in this
century that will affect that future more than those of any
previous generation. We are living at the dawn of the Age of
Humans; the only question is how long that age will last. Few of us have yet asked, “What happens after
global warming?” Drawing upon the latest, groundbreaking
works of a handful of climate visionaries, Deep Future helps
us look beyond 2100 a.d. to the next hundred millennia of
life on Earth.
