Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

One myth people tell themselves is that humans will adapt to climate change. So, the myth that humans will adapt to climate change like cockroaches to bug killer is short sited. Though the human species may survive increases in temperatures, many will be displaced by rising sea water, flooding events, and natural disasters. The climate pressures on humans will spillover in placing more pressures on ecosystems. The additional pressure from humans on ecosystems will threaten those systems to extinction. In return human survival will be threatened with the loss of ecosystems. Sadly, some people do not consider themselves as a part of an ecosystem. Some people think some smart person will have invented pelletized food by then – Jetsons – they are banking on Rosie the robot to save the day!
