Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
It's these types of efforts where we need to focus basic and advanced #research, #scientific and #technological #exploration, and large-scale #commercial and #government #development.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is the most sound #global #philosophy and #strategy to potentially mitigate, and possibly reverse, the extreme damage we've done to our #climate and #environment.
It's what an #ecological #MoonShot means, to me.
Paraphrased: "If it's not useful and #accessible to the #poor and #disabled, it's neither #radical nor #revolutionary"
The U.S., and most of the "West" / #GlobalNorth, no longer has a radical or revolutionary mindset.
Neither #VentureCapital nor #HedgeFunds have or can deliver bold, #innovative results, only #vampiric variations on what exists.
Until that #paradigm is demolished, we can't hope to build the new #world we all desperately need.
"... just get on with it, and do it now."
We are killing ourselves in literally every way possible.
That is neither #radical nor #revolutionary.
Everything #humans do, Everywhere humans are, must be reexamined, reimagined, and redone.
"...we will probably* need in the future...to have everything we can get..."
#SmallWindTurbines and #SolarPanels, a winning #global #power solution?
*definitely, and immediately
"That's #nature, it's a beautiful and smart #system, but it's a system of give and take. We've just been taking and taking for so long, using the #Earth as our playground, that I think we've completely forgotten that we're a part of this system and, one day, in a not so distant #future, we're also gonna have to give back." – #DamiLee
We aren't separate from the #planet and its systems, we're just a small part.
Doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is our only hope at mitigating, maybe one day reversing, the ongoing and worsening devastation of the #ClimateChange we have caused and continue to exacerbate.
"We are entirely connected with #nature and, in turn, the #reef...Every action, every decision we make has an impact on the #environment around us...if you take positive [actions] to reduce your #carbon #emission, this in turn will have a really positive effect on #reefs around the #world...each of us individually are connected and...if we work together, we can have really large and positive impacts."
(#corporations #pollute because WE make that #profitable)
This #compilation of "old" #Astrophysics and other #space #science #clips includes a section related to #ClimateChange and how it may affect the rate of spin for #Earth.
Yes, the #planet's rate of spin may be affected by #climate change. Potentially catastrophic, but may be mitigated (as well as exacerbated or caused by) variations in the #Moon's #orbit.
The segment starts at around 29:34 into the #video
A few more examples of #ideas that fit the Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #moonshot #philosophy and #strategy for #ClimateChange mitigation:
I partially retract an earlier statement, this is #local #SouthFlorida #news #coverage on #ClimateChange and our local #heat records being shattered.
Segments of this may have been #broadcast during normal #newscasts but, unfortunately, this full summary is provided via a secondary or tertiary outlet.
At least they're covering this news and sharing it in an understandable format.
"My personal view is that the change is worth pursuing in the interest of slowing the negative effects on our #ocean #ecosystem that #GlobalWarming and #ClimateChange is having right now. It's not free. It comes at a cost, and that's a trade-off that we have to consider when we decide to put #WindFarms into the #ocean."
Nothing is free, everything has a cost. The perfect is too often the enemy of the good.
Doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is what we need, now.
#DistrictCooling and other #infrastructure and #archtectural changes can help increase the efficiency of #cooling #systems and radically reduce the #energy such systems use even as exponentially more people in more places are finally able to access the lifesaving benefits of artificially and more naturally cooled air.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange #solutions abound.
"...what we see is that #ClimateChange is by far the worst enemy. So yes, these things will have #environtmental effects, but we should put them in that context of #climate change."
It's critical that we implement now as many good options as we have, as widely as we can, as work on ever better #ClimateSolutions continues.
We must do Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange solutions can benefit everyone, everywhere, all the time.
Yes, and...
The Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #philosophy and #strategy to mitigate #ClimateChange includes rethinking the purposes and goals of #capitalist #production and #economic growth.
What we do, and why we do, aren't separate from how we live and die.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #solutions to #ClimateChange include producing and consuming less.
#Corporations are the worst #polluters because they #manufacture demand and need (e.g. planned obsolescence), then recklessly #pollute to meet that artificially inflated "need" for goods.
We must decrease our individual #consumerism while also forcing #businesses to stop polluting.
Ending #corporate #pollution and our rampant consumption are both required, and more.

@immibis I think in this instance you've misunderstood their position, and I'm agreeing with them on this because it's both corporations AND we consumers who generate their profits, that must make radical changes in our habits.
@immibis Understandable, they do seem a bit too pleased with themselves at times, sharing their grand wisdom with us.
