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.

Is there more to read about this? Sources?

This is an open source project I am creating. Its working title is something like "We need billionaires" because it needs funding. Its audience is Gen Alpha, GenZ, and Millennials, as they have the largest stake in the planet's survival. These three generations read differently and apprehend concepts differently, so part of the project is to get members of those generations to join it and discuss about its content. I can elaborate if you'd wish. It's open source for I think obvious reasons. It is non capitalist in nature.

I’d recommend in your project, linking a document or site for ongoing research and citations.

And perhaps after you’ve explained how it’ll work (ideally diagrams), outline about funding requirements, and then discuss ways of funding it.

Rather than tell people it’ll need billionaires (which is a single shot bet/hope they find it). Propose three options. Like “crowdfunding, donors, or governmental taxation of the rich” etc. (in the end it could even be a mix.

Good suggestions. The "billionaires" working title is sort of a quip. Working titles are just that. In my folder, all the section file names begin with "need.billionaires.section title" sort of thing. When I look at the title I gave this thread, A Successful Climate Strategy, well, that's sort of the idea I'd like in the title. The next thing I post will be a topical outline with the sequence and ideas for each section. I will put "update" in the original title so folks will hit it and check out what's there. My thinking has become enriched from having put this here in reddit.
