Project Drawdown has advice on tackling climate change, but I'm concerned that one of the steps is "talk to any CEOs you know".
Love both of these insights and I think It would be great if we could fix it. I just don't think that, for various psychological reasons, we will.
Which is why I have to go with the argument that the sooner we go extinct the better. Perhaps we will create and consume something that will that will make us infertile and that will be the cause.
This book was written in 1982 but, even so, outlines the psychology of #collapse really well: 'Overshoot, The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change' by William R. Catton, Jr.

#Doomism is climate science denial.
#Decarbonization and #Drawdown are well within our reach as long as we don't give up.
#WeCanDoThis We just have to get onto the right path.
Cool #ClimateProgress that I noticed the U.S. Embassy of Switzerland share:
Paving the path to sustainability: The canton of Basel City, which aims to become carbon neutral by 2037, plans to use the environmentally friendly asphalt “as widely as possible” when repairing roads. The "green" asphalt contains #biochar and is made from organic waste.

I’m a longtime fan of @ProjectDrawdown but the new roadmap presents a deeply flawed picture of the climate challenge as all about emissions and temperature. Where’s the map for vulnerability drawdown? https://revkin.substack.com/p/behind-global-climate-emergency-rhetoric-21-08-06

#Treeplanting — the main so-called #NatureBased solution intended to help #DrawDown #CarbonDioxide from the atmosphere has become a synonym for #ClimateAction . #Governments & #companies make #forestry #promises that spring up like eager saplings. That’s become a convenient way to assuage #consumer & #corporate #guilt ..
#Trees are wonderful, but they’re not a #QuickSolution to the #ClimateCrisis
#Women leading #climate action through #agriculture, #education, and #health.
Project #Drawdown’s Drawdown Lift program and Clean Cooking Alliance will host a fireside chat with thought leaders from four focus areas that help to promote climate action and justice, particularly for women and #girls. Strengthen adaptation, boost human well-being, and mitigate future emissions. This is a #NGO #CSW67 Forum Parallel #zoom Event. 9/3/2023 08:00 AM US Eastern Time https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JZq-hO3XSUicj8T12I9ozQ
This is a thread about #drawdown (http://drawdown.org), and a summary of my favourite bits of the very interesting TED talk by Chad Frischmann here: https://www.ted.com/talks/chad_frischmann_100_solutions_to_climate_change
It's really helpful for grassroots activism!
