ABSTRACT
This chapter reimagines climate change as an instance of the Anthropocene. It aims to delineate the connection between the Anthropocene and climate change, it has additional aspirations, some of which aim directly toward policy. It also suggests that ever since humanity started living in cities and practicing agriculture in extensive ways, it has assumed a geological role. The chapter reimagines climate change in the service of boosting human security. It suggests that Climate Inc's misperception commits itself to exacerbating security challenges rather than meeting them. It opens up new and broader possibilities of securing human safety as people move into greater climate intensification. The chapter suggests the human role in the biosphere requires people to think about adaptation to rapid climate change in terms of what people make, how people construct future cities, and how people power them, not just in terms of governance mechanisms and attempts to update traditional notions of security in particular.
