Climate change: All in the game
Thomas Pfeiffer1 & Martin A. Nowak1
Abstract
It is in the public interest to keep Earth's climate on an even keel — the public, in this case, being all the world's population. Are you prepared to stake your own reputation on helping to improve matters?
Earlier this year, the German newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt published an advertisement1 drawing attention to the impact of human activities on global climate:Human activities have already demonstrably changed global climate, and further, much greater changes must be expected throughout this century. The emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases will further accelerate global warming... Some future climatic consequences of human-induced CO2 emissions, for example some warming and sea-level rise, cannot be prevented, and human societies will have to adapt to these changes.
- Thomas Pfeiffer and Martin A. Nowak are in the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Department of Mathematics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA.
