Searching for the dragons - with Richard Alley at AGU14
Sou | 11:03 PM Go to the first of 2 comments. Add a commentProfessor Richard Alley gave one of the first lectures at AGU14. (Click here for how to view AGU14 videos.)
Richard talks in his usual lively manner, with an early reference to the possibility that some things may happen very quickly, much faster than economic discounting allows. He talks about how faster, less-expected changes would be very damaging to economies and ecosystems. He says that "in some sense, we are searching for the dragons that are out there" - in a reference to a fifteenth century map showing where "here be dragons".He points out that when we discover a possible dragon part we examine it further - and often find that it's "not likely to eat us" - or we may find that it is indeed really dangerous.
