Ok ok, but let's get beyond this techno-hopium -- and really soon, too. This tech has HUGE environmental and political costs. (Think global flexible regimes of accumulation.) So, if we're authentically concerned, then...

@MatthewToad42 @rob_cornelius @breadandcircuses

Controlled-environment survival scenarios are farce. All that tech requires huge investment, available technology, tools and energy, people, lots of people but it can't reliably produce food without LOTS of chemicals. Nope. More fantasy and hopium. #LifestyleChange #SustainableLifestyle #DeepConservation #SustainableCommunities #ResilientCommunities #TransitionTowns #MutualAid #CareForEarth #permaculture

And for you science buffs, are you familiar with the fascinating concepts of "positive feedback loops" and "thresholds"? I have a hunch that we will be hearing more about these intriguing ideas In the future. (I think that's the near future.)

Me thinx it's high time to build the social pressure for dealing with this calamity in front of us (planetary heating + massive species extinction + everything else). So... pound by pound, let the pressure build. It's time to raise the psychological cost of ignoring this monster. Every hour. Every day.

Now that's praxis.

@hydroponictrash This technology might benefit me greatly this summer. Power is limited (small photovoltaic) so I run a small fan, but my crooked wooden house bakes in the sun.

Since this video was released (7 years ago), we've learned again and again that the globe is warming much faster than we predicted. Recently Hansen et.al. concluded that ~4°C is inevitable in the short loop and 10+°C is inevitable in the long loop. Not looking so good for designer tomatoes. Too late? Still must press on.

@BrentToderian Imagine a sustainable, empathetic society. Currently, it's about "the turning away." The turning away from vulnerable people. The turning away from our own natures (towards alienation). The turning away from our living planet.

Restructuring everyday lives to healthy, safe, fun sustainable lifestyles with meaningful relationships, robust community-level production, strong democracy and serious restraint on capitalist bullies.

@TXsharon

Thanks for doing what you do! I'm over here working on developing pathways for authentic. But... LOTS of denial and dawdling out there. Where's the support from our political leadership? I guess that comes later? Heh heh. Better come sooner.

@TXsharon

Well... I guess we really should try (authentically). But, it seems that ~4°C is baked into the short loop and ~10°C into the long loop (according to recent Hansen et al). So... ack. Still... gotta try. Perennial woodies, more climax forests, etc and of course the obvious:

Well, golly. Who woulda thunk?

@bethsawin

Thanks for mentioning indicators. Social and environmental indicators are key to community assessment, community development assessment and community development planning. They logically follow from planning (well-being) goals.

@uxmark Your design weblog site for Connolly Design is quite good. Thanks doing that stuff. GIS, too!! I use QGIS for my forestry work and permaculture design.

@bethsawin I sure wish someone in the admin would say it out loud: lifestyle change. Turns out they were wrong. The AWL is negotiable, and biology and physics are the negotiators.
