Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a reminder that major and relatively unpredictable events can have a massive impact on the planet's biosphere.

This essay suggests ways this system could exploit the potential of the international scientific and technological community to address the climate crisis, though the political impacts could be profound and destabilizing.
