Technologies for Coping with Climate Changes

Resumen

Once established both the motivation and the commitment for coping with climate changes, this article establishes the role of technology to reduce risks and strengthen the potentials that new environmental scenarios bring. In this context the current work shows a classification of the technologies according to carbon capture and according to the prior existence of them and their use for facing environmental problems generated by climate changes not as such. Later, a broad spectrum of technology users is presented, concluding that the performance of many human activities will be affected for better or for worse by climate change. Finally the technological approaches are discussed, noting that in Chile there is an underestimation of the quality of abrupt, self-reference and critical capabilities as a metaphor for the new environmental challenges.
