Aerial view taken by drone in June 2019 of the upland tundra site at Trail Valley Creek in Canada's Northwest Territories where automated and manual chamber gas flux measurements are taken. The boardwalk provides access to each chamber site without disturbing the vegetation and affecting gas fluxes within the chambers, the white tent houses the gas analyzer and control system for the automated chamber system, and a micrometeorological station and eddy covariance tower can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

We illustrate a conservative view of potential human adaptations based on similar technology today and from science fiction (Elson, 2016; Smith, 2008). Extreme heat may require protective personal clothing for outdoor activity – in this hypothetical case, a sealed helmet and a suit conducting water and coolants around the body. Outdoor agriculture in 2500 may be managed by automated drone-machinery.
