I thought a good idea might be to get some very very talented ux/ui/illustration folks together with a few people who are well versed in the various aspects of climate change, and take the time to make a very succinct, easy to understand and beautiful microsite that shows the coalescing of all of the aspects of change that result in a crisis. I think if people can see them all together and understand how the positive feedback loops are connected, it would help people think individually about what aspects they could realistically tackle, as well as the magnitude of the problem.
People can very clearly see the system is falling to bits, but I'm not sure most people understand it's actually a group of interconnected systems. I mean, they know, but I don't believe it's easy for people to wrap a mental model around all this. I also think there are still very many people who believe it will not affect them meaningfully within their lifetime.
- datameta 5y agoThis idea if well executed and spread virally could be rather effective. I have seen how useful a properly put together website has been in helping organize efforts in contacting representatives, increasing voter turnout, and scheduling protests.
- neom 5y agoI agree it would need to be very well executed, but there are some strong minds around. You'd need a great domain and really great team, and some press (even if just tweets from people with huge followings).
- doitLP 5y agoPlease do this. Everything from kelp forests dying to bug populations diasappearing to the unsustainable mining of gravel needs to be displayed in a way that really communicates the breakneck pace at which we’re headed for doom. But it needs to be presented in an exquisitely wel-done, bare-facts way that ends with a CTA (unlike for example Kurzgesagt which is just depressing) I bet a lot of people would like to help for free. Most of us feel helpless most of the time.
