1.) Give examples of James Burke's hypothesis that the trajectory of human history has been determined by climate. What assumptions of Burke do you agree with and disagree with? Now give examples of James Burke's hypothesis that the trajectory of human history in the future will be determined by climate changes caused by human behavior. What assumptions of Burke do you agree with and disagree with? What planet management decisions suggested by Burke do you want to help implement and which ones do you think are not even remotely feasible (and why)?
