Abstract
In these days, the notion of ‘climate change’ has a distinctly negative and passive connotation. It raises concerns and worries, it is something that should be avoided, prevented, or at least minimized. It is seen as an inadvertent byproduct of the technology-dominated civilization, as the ultimate ‘pollution’ and we see ourselves as its victims. This was not always so. Just half a century ago, man was seen as the future master of climate. The connotation of climate change was ‘control’ rather than ‘inadvertent byproduct’. Climate change was the aim, was seen as an instrument for bettering the human condition, and sometimes was exalted as the ultimate triumph of technology and the human genius.
