I think HN is a great platform to discuss climate solutions because it isn’t a climate change community. Curious to hear from others as well! To me, how “real” something is correlates roughly with the number of people pursuing it, and how vigorously they pursue it. To that end, we started Impossible Labs in 2016, skipped over the whole “climate debate” of the 1990s and 2000s, and started putting our full time work into climate solutions. That’s why I helped create http://airminers.org http://airminers.org. It’s an index of 80+ startups and projects pursuing climate change as an economic opportunity, mining carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. To me this is pretty solid “proof”, though by no means science-based. However, I also wrote a popular article “no one gives a fuck about climate change”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14492180 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14492180 The article’s HN discussion sparked the Carbon Doomsday project and git repo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16332595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16332595
