Ok, a second post for today (is that allowed?)
I won't elaborate on this now, but I am really curious about the connectivity between complex adaptive systems thinking and how we should go about doing climate change adaptation. Can we take some of the theory about what allows complex systems to be complex adaptive systems (e.g., decentralized self-organizing networks of diverse agents with many interactions and set rules of the game; short feedback loops that allow for localized learning; etc) and apply them to social systems to make some prescriptions for what adaptive systems that are able to cope with unpredictable changes such as climate change might look like? I don't know, but the idea intrigues me.
