The challenge we face is not (only) to reduce or stabilize concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, but to live in productive relationship with the dynamic systems that govern a changing planet. This is a new challenge because humanity is young and now constitutes an important planetary force in a way that is unprecedented. Anthropogenic climate change is the harbinger of a new world in which humans have become a dominant force on Earth's natural systems.

Early in the nineteenth century, Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier was investigating what determines the temperature of terrestrial bodies such as the earth. He speculated that part of the answer was that atmospheric gases might inhibit heat from escaping, thereby warming the earth's surface.
