Climate change
Bruce Sterling has a blog entry showing some climate-change-like things happening around him. His book Heavy Weather, which I read a few years ago, made me think pretty carefully about climate change and its effects. One of the themes is that a few decades into the future, when climate change is obvious to everyone, the older generation (that’s us) will be blamed. Our kids will be incredulous that we could ever have driven petrol-powered cars around every day for something as mundane as going shopping or going to work.
