Introduction - Climate Change Impacts on Freshwater Ecosystems - page 13

in our final human throes. But for the moment, this topic essentially takes the
emerging evidence from the physical to the sociological and applies expert
judgement to it to assess the interplay between freshwaters and human societies as
the climate drama, now just past the Prologue, enfolds. It brings together the major
concepts of Hutchinson, Lovelock and Tansley in a crucial act of the evolutionary
play as the theatre itself begins to change somewhat ominously.
