So far, no countries have gotten together to take action together in a big, dramatic way (which apparently is needed for the psyche of humans). This could be that first step.Tenney Naumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843130378338023902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579549341020421678.post-77967725738499556642012-09-12T01:15:08.715-05:002012-09-12T01:15:08.715-05:00" In the end, of course, this will just be a ..." In the end, of course, this will just be a sub-plot to the bigger drama, the climate crisis, but by naming this the arctic crisis, I am suggesting that it needs to be treated independently, right away."<br /><br />And he goes off the rails right at the very beginning. #$%$!!!!!<br /><br />Why is it so difficult for people to grasp that the Earth is ONE system. ONE BLEEPING SYSTEM!<br /><br />You start designing solutions "independently" and you've already screwed the pooch.<br /><br />Want to knw how simple this is?<br /><br />1. Grow gardens (regenerqatively, i.e., sustainably) at home.<br /><br />2. Localize your power.<br /><br />3. Localize decision-making such that power devolves UPWARD from the neighborhood to the national/geo-regional level.<br /><br />4. re-grow ecosystems, particularly forests.<br /><br />5. Change ALL farming over to regenerative farming.<br /><br />6. Grow food forests.<br /><br />7. SIMPLIFY in the OECD.<br /><br />Those actions have the potential to reduce CO2 by up to 5 ppm/year, which buys us time to make the shifts above permanent and to transition everything else we do to the NECESSARY, NON-NEGOTIABLE low-consumption, regenerative, steady-state economics model.<br /><br />Do any of this in isolation and it will fail miserably.Killianhttp://planetshifter.com/node/2001noreply@blogger.com
