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...

Ok, I appreciate that perspective. Either way, the approach is the same -- build sustainability and the capacity of regeneration at the community level. That's where policy meets the individual. That's where production happens, and production is the game no matter what else. So... accomplishing that goal serves both of these representational models of the future. Heck yeah.

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.

Fellow boomers, we can't possibly understand the emotions that subsequent Generations are experiencing as they face the deteriorating Planet we have left them after taking the best for ourselves. Can you imagine being 25 years old and marginally literate and looking around at this world and imagining your future? Ugh.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
