“When you try to picture the future what do you see? A world bursting with human potential, and the technology that liberates it? Or one defined by hard limits to growth, and the rural ideals of earlier generations?”

This question was posited by panelists at the event, How Climate Change Is Reshaping Our Future, last Wednesday, Jan. 22 night. Four of Vancouver’s leading speakers on environmental change (Jim Hoggan, Keith Gillard, Carleen Thomas, and Christie Stephenson) spoke on how global warming is already remaking “our entire culture.”
