RNRF Special Report: 'Our Fate in the Stars - How a Universe Rich with Alien Worlds Can Help Us Save Our Own'

A special report from the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation:   
Our Fate in the Stars: How a Universe Rich with Alien Worlds Can Help Us Save Our Own by Adam Frank.

You can also find this article by Adam Frank in the Renewable Resources Journal 33(3) pp. 2 - 9.

Buckle up!

Editor's Note:
Anthropogenic climate change has become a matter of intense debate in the public sphere, not only regarding how human civilization can respond to this threat, but even whether or not it is happening at all. University of Rochester astrophysicist Dr. Adam Frank describes a new, astrobiological framework for thinking about climate change that broadens our perspective on humanity’s place on Earth. By considering current environmental dilemmas in a wider context — how life on Earth impacts physical planetary processes, and how civilizations throughout the universe might naturally induce climate change on their planets — Frank argues that we are better positioned to solve the compelling, existential problem of climate change.

This report is adapted from a lecture of the same name that Frank presented at Dartmouth College in May 2017. His book Light of the Stars, published July 2018, provides further reading on astrobiology and climate change.

 

What is the Problem?
The premise of Frank’s argument is: You can’t solve a problem until you can understand it, and you can’t understand it until you can tell its story. What, then, is the real story behind climate change?

There is broad scientific consensus that humans are driving changes in the Earth’s current climate state by burning fossil fuels. Problems associated with climate change, such as ocean acidification, shifting weather patterns and melting ice caps, are further compounded by general resource depletion across the world’s biomes. While the science surrounding the topic is well established, political debate has lagged behind, and many people do not think climate change is happening or do not believe it is a threat to civilization.

This was not always the case, however. High-level political rhetoric surrounding climate change goes at least as far back as 1964, with an address by President Lyndon Johnson to Congress:

“This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through radioactive materials and a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.”

Over fifty years after LBJ’s address, debate in the public sphere has become extremely polarized, and political gridlock has limited the options of how to tackle the climate change problem. A new framework for thinking about climate change could move the conversation in a more productive direction.

Think Like a Planet
Much of the social misconceptions about climate change could be attributed to a problem in perspective. Fundamentally, climate change is thought of as a one-time phenomenon — that it has never happened before — and many people unfamiliar with climate science concepts simply don’t believe that that human beings are capable of drastically altering the planet’s atmosphere. In order to tackle these misunderstandings, Frank argued the perspective on climate change needs to move beyond just human beings in this moment in history.

To do this he suggested “thinking like a planet.” Scientific understanding of planets has seen rapid advancements in recent decades. Frank noted that the idea of planets as a general, universal, cosmic phenomenon is very new, as are ideas suggesting that planets, their biospheres, and even their civilizations are broadly governed by knowable rules. Studying these rules and thinking about how planets and civilizations occur as a natural phenomenon can help us “think like a planet.”

Earth at one time had a magma ocean. Earth was also a continent-less water world. There was a later time when the Earth was seven degrees warmer than it is now — a jungle world. Later, the Earth was completely glaciated. In the distant future, as the sun heats up, Earth will be a desert world. There have been many different versions of Earth throughout the planet’s long history, and there will continue to be many more in the future.

Geologists have demarcated epochs in the Earth’s history that represent the planet’s wildly different conditions. Currently, we are in the Holocene, a period of warm, moist, conditions that has only started since the last Ice Age about 10,000 years ago. Generally speaking, sophisticated human civilizations began and flourished in the Holocene.

Because civilization has thrived within the Holocene, it is unclear what would happen to human civilization outside of the Holocene. Frank stated that this point is particularly important to understand, because when we say we are worried about the climate, what we really mean is that we are worried about the Holocene. The word “sustainability” is often used to describe solutions to climate change. But what, exactly, do we want to sustain? We want to sustain is Earth as it currently is — comfortable for human civilization. Specifically, a civilization that maximizes human well-being, is technological and energy intensive, and has a high enough population to support a functioning, complex, technologically advanced society. To do this, we need to keep the Holocene. But by sustaining the Holocene in perpetuity, we are altering the planet’s evolution. A perspective encompassing a long history of Earth shows that humans are far from the first species to do this.

Cutting to the chase..(go here to the last page)

Conclusion
And how does this perspective give us a new way of telling the story of the human race?

Frank proposed that the story of climate change and the Anthropocene should be told as a story of humans as an energy harvesting species. Just as planets have given rise to dinosaurs and blue-green algae, planets have also fostered energy harvesting civilizations, and from that perspective, humans are not that unique. Civilizations are just one of many different experiments a planet can run on its surface, and there have likely been many civilizations throughout the universe, as the pessimism line shows. Frank argued that humans are a part of the biosphere, not above the biosphere. New York City, then, is as much a part of nature as a bird’s nest. Can humans learn to cooperate with the planet and sustain their civilization, or will the Anthropocene see the Earth moving on to a different experiment?

The crux of Frank’s argument is that Anthropocenes have happened before and are a natural part of the formation of civilizations. Climate change is not humanity’s fault — it is simply what any civilization would naturally do. Frank cautioned that this does not mean humans are not causing climate change, but rather civilizations did not set about harvesting energy and burning coal and oil with the intention of changing the climate. The Anthropocene is not a story of human greed, human unworthiness, or humans as a plague upon the planet. It is simply a story about the natural course of events under civilizations. It is a story about a planet and its experiments.

Climate change is inevitable — any civilization will cause climate change, but whether or not we can build a sustainable civilization is an open question. A planetary view of the Anthropocene problem allows for hope and optimism in staving off a collapse of Earth’s civilization. The Anthropocene, Frank contended, is not a story with villains, it’s just a story about winners and losers. We want to make sure that we are on the winning side, and can join the community of cosmic civilizations that have also managed to create a sustainable world. After all, Frank concluded, if another civilization has made it, why can’t we?

"This job is so much easier now that only the faculty are held to ethical standards." - @ass_deans

Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 17 October 2022

From the AZ Water Resources Research Center Newsletter: 

 

On October 5, the University of Arizona community suffered a huge loss with the tragic and senseless death of Dr. Thomas Meixner, professor and department head of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. He was beloved by friends and family and highly regarded by his colleagues. At the WRRC, Meixner was considered a kindred spirit: he led efforts to make University of Arizona (UArizona) water science locally and regionally relevant, encouraging his students and colleagues to do the same.

 

Assistant Dean for Faculty Advancement in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Jean McLain, who was the WRRC’s Associate Director for six years, wrote that when she first met Tom, “I was struck by his no-nonsense attitude — he would enter a meeting with a goal or an agenda, and that goal would be accomplished. It was quite impressive — and I quickly learned to trust his judgment.” In her first months at the WRRC, Meixner encouraged her to succeed him as a member of the City of Tucson Citizens’ Water Advisory Committee, believing the committee should have an effective UArizona presence. Not only was he mentoring a colleague new to water resources, but he also was ensuring continued UArizona engagement with the water community. Remembering their interactions, WRRC Director Sharon Megdal stated “Tom was an absolutely wonderful colleague — as good a colleague as there could be. … He was brilliant. Tom was generous with his time and counsel and was always responsive. He helped the campus community in so many ways … I can still hear him saying "understood." He understood so much! … My heartfelt sympathies to the family and all who knew and/or worked with Tom.”

Please support Tom's family - Kathleen, Sean and Brendan through Go Fund Me.

Rest in peace, Tom!
