The extreme views on climate change hold that science is just plain wrong, on one hand, or that science will fix the world before it gets too bad, on the other hand.
Alejandro Frid chooses to land somewhere in between, trusting that science is correct about the causes of climate change, but that ancient knowledge could help correct the effects.
Frid is an ecologist who spends a lot of time with the indigenous people of North America. He offers up his thinking on how to take the best of modern and traditional knowledge, in the book Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene. The author visits to flesh out his story.
