I found several interesting ideas in the book:
- coloring the sea to increase albedo
- pumping the water below ice layer to reduce the ice melt speed
- the incentives to reward carbon capture
Some actions (terrorism) introduce society changes:
- drone attacks on plane/ship using fuel to limit carbon transportation
- announcements of the contamination of animals with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to reduce the meat consumption
- AstralStorm 4y ago- danger of ultimate destruction of ecosystem that keeps us alive (same problem with algae seeding to enhance CO2 intake) - you mean heating up ice faster? - the main incentive is to fake savings while emitting more, how do you beat that? - better do these with empty ships and do not believe for one moment that more will not be spent to track you down, making it counterproductive - didn't work then, won't work now
- routerl 4y ago> you mean heating up ice faster? No, the idea in the book is to reduce/stop glacial motion (which is what causes friction and increases glacial temperatures) by pumping out the layer of water below glaciers (i.e. remove the cushion that prevents friction from actually stopping the glacier's movement).
- stevenwoo 4y agoThe cryptocurrency ideas did not age well if I understood them correctly. Though I did appreciate that he does state the national banking systems only had legal ability to do things that really can’t change anything in the status quo - it’s quite similar to what Piketty talks about in Capital and Ideology.
