Who believes science will have the weather/climate pretty much under control by 2100…?
Not a Gaiaist then? You actually mean technology by the way, not science. Science doesn’t control anything – it just says how things are. Technology is the appliance of science. Man has tried to control the planet through out history, to varied degrees of success. The best way to affect nature, as many are appearing to learn, is to work with it. Controlling the weather has huge knock on effects regardless how much you are in control so is best avoided. Come 2100 things are going to be beyond our imagination any way according to many as we may hit a ‘technological singularity’ in about 2060 – that is where technology advances at an exponential rate – machines become smarter than humans, humans become smarter than humans because of this and things become very strange. This might not happen but is being predicted by many.
