Saul Griffith presents "Infrastructure and Climate Change"
So far we are trying to deal with climate change at the wrong time scale.  A really deep problem cannot be solved by shallow innovations, no matter how clever.  The scale of climate change requires thinking and acting in multi-decade terms at the level of infrastructurepersonal as well as societal.  Get it right, and "the result can be like living in a beautifully managed garden."

Saul Griffith is an inventor and meta-inventor, currently founder of Otherlabs in San Francisco (devising such things as soft robotics, soft exoskeletons, cheap solar tracking, and conformable gas tanks.)  He is a MacArthur Fellow and frequent TED dazzler.  His 02009 SALT talk Climate Change Recalculated is the most viewed video in our twelve-year series.

About the Series:
The Seminars About Long-term Thinking were started in 02003 to build a coherent, compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.
