It's likely we will blow past 2C as well. It's time to start thinking about mitigation strategies. The mitigations will require geo/bio/agro-engineering which in turn will require coordination across various disciplines using computational tools and techniques.
Are there any cross-disciplinary organizations working on these problems?
- melling 4y agoFirst, I would recommend that we understand what we got wrong. We’ve known about the problem for half a century, and how to address it. A million Americans didn’t need to die from Covid and climate change was mostly avoidable. “Hey, let’s wait for the windmills, solar, and batteries… By 2030, …” was never a good plan.
- koyanisqatsi 4y agoI agree and what has gone wrong are organizations that optimize short-term profits at the expense of long-term biospheric viability. That's what has gone wrong. So the solutions have to come from organizations that are focused on long-term civilizational continuity and viability. It's pretty clear that Silicon Valley VCs are not up to the challenge, they're still investing in silly consumer toys.
