*RNA when its a virus, source when its nano particles, or stuff. Please don't try to deconstruct it, just cause I said DNA, which doesn't apply everywhere.

Oh gosh, forgot one:Disease - any guess where this is going? Yeah right: find it, analyse its DNA and working mechanisms and come up with a cure. Not that hard, just a matter of better technology

Earthquakes - predicting the tension of plates, maybe lower them technically, or just evacuate the area/build houses that withstand them.Volcanoes - a bit like earthquakes, lower the pressure within the volcano, before it is enough to burst itself out.Got more? Bring it on.

Those are all separated issues that can be researched and broken up into basic problems of information gathering, analyse and action.Famine - combines with weather control, better crops and ways to analyse the ground and supply water and nutrients, as well as storing large amounts of conserved food at various storage places all over the earth.Flooding - weather control. No problem if you can freeze or evaporate large amounts of water and predict/control rain patterns.

Disease then. Famine, flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes. The hubris of humanity in attempting to control every aspect of the natural world will be its undoing. We are "of" the world. Not "in charge of" it.

All you need for this are sufficient prediction models(you could even use pattern recognising evolutionary algorithms, to let the system itself lern and get rid of the need of finding a theory yourself), a global weather obervation system (not a problem) and a method to change air temprature in a fast and controlled way within a specific area(which doesn't sound like an unsolvable problem).

I doubt humans will ever be masters of their own destiny. A simple hurricane proves how impotent humanity is in the face of natural events.

Mr. Dyson, do you feel that the birds and butterflies are going to feel the physical effect of global warming before we do the human race, and will global warming change there anatomy or cause them not to be able to fly?

How to make the country ungovernable?You pass on all the regulatory enforcementto the next administration which willprobably be Obama. This is whyrepublicans have been raiding the treasury, spending every dollar itcould because it already knew aboutclimate change and peak oil & thatthe jig is up. Take the money, spreadthe corruption-such great patriots-all because the expense of court orderedCC regulation would make Bush look bad.Obama is stepping right into the trap. |
