I'm using this thread to keep track of important articles, publications, discussions, and resources on the topic of catastrophic climate destabilization. It's a not fun topic to think about, but the better informed we are the more capable we can respond.

Please feel very welcome to link anything relevant here

@RedBard @tulsi Resource Based Economy is an evolution from political to technical solutions

Some core characteristics:

1) The scientific method applied for social concern

2) The application of technology for the betterment of the human condition

3) A holistic-systems approach, adaptive to the needs of the environment. So not just STEM but a fundamental understanding of the interconnectedness of all things

The Venus Project is a great source, The Zeitgeist Movement functions as community

I'm here because I love the solarpunk aesthetic from design to function. I seek to participate in education, info sharing, resource development, addressing climate destabilization, and radically facilitating better habits & lifestyles through the use of appropriate technology.

I spend time interacting w/ strangers to address these issues better. I think the best way to achieve these goals simultaneously and at the scale needed is an iterative testing of the RBE.

There was a set of open source emojis posted on SBC a while back. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

"...studies indicate that we simply can't grow enough trees to capture the necessary amount of CO2 that would help us meet the goals set by the Paris Agreement.

In truth, we would have to cover the entire contiguous US with trees just to capture 10% of the CO2 we emit annually.

There's just not enough room on this planet...'

The liberal equivalent of "thoughts and prayers" is belief that the market system can reduce emissions by 45% in 12 years 💀

Still looking for the fully compostable bike, but this one is close: http://www.allthings.bio/interview-thomas-kanters-flaxed-bicycle/

@socalledunitedstates

Second request of the day: someone posted about a totally sustainable bike that students had made recently. I specifically recall the post taking a jab at engineers and market incentives (though not in those words)

In other news, Mastolab seems to be acting up.

I wonder what the average life expectency of morticians is.

In the past month someone (I believe) from SBC mentioned a body of work that is comparable, but more appropriate than, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I'm open for any and all recommendations today.
