Abstract
Our political and legal institutions have considerable experience managing small scale biological processes, and less experience with global scale geologic and meteorological processes. Importantly, biological systems tend to stasis. Geological systems often do not. The human population is now so large that it is bumping against geological limits, including harmful atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and depleted fossil fuel reserves and groundwater supplies.
