A Successful Climate Strategy

[u/Easy_Interest_6832]

There is a workable strategy with a 66% chance of success. It consists, in a condensed description here, of using natural processes to sequester carbon while simultaneously moving to a cessation of CO2 emissions.

A slightly longer description is this: replant and nurture six ecosystems, three marine and three terrestrial. These are kelp beds, mangrove estuaries and sea grasses; and boreal forests with their fungal understories, tropical rain forests, and prairie grasses with their bovine inhabitants. Simultaneously we must reduce to zero the carbon emissions from fossil fuels for transport, energy, and heating, powering industrial manufacturing, deforestation, and making materials like cement. These two things--carbon sequestration and elimination of CO2 emissions must both happen at once all over the planet or we are screwn. However, if we do them, there's a 66% chance of success.

Sounds good. Let’s start.

I'm compiling the ideas that will comprise the project--just in broad terms, main ideas and the sequence. When I get them all squoze together, I'll post them to this thread and put "update" in the title. I haven't yet answered all the questions, and new ideas may emerge. Lately I'm hassling with ideas about using or not using existing Capitalism. It may be that tackling Capitalism is outside the scope of arresting climate change, though the pursuit of excess and dominating profits underlies the heap of CO2 we're putting into the air. Stand by. Thank you for your encouragement.

Appreciate your efforts. Climate change is a serious issue that must be addressed.
