ID : 1905   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Water might just be the defining issue of the remainder of this century. Worldwide, the planet's hydrosphere is rebelling in the wake of a globally warming climate, spurring biblical spring floods; devastating summer droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires; and powerful autumn hurricanes and typhoons, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and society, to quote Jeremy Rifkin, author of Planet Aqua: Rethinking Our Home in the Universe. We will explore how access to water has shaped human civilization and how current environmental conditions are tipping towards a new reality where water distribution will differ from the past.
