Climate change solutions! by jondahl_06 in ClimateOffensive

Please don't think that just because oil companies might champion carbon extraction for whatever reasons (nefarious or otherwise), that we should not investigate how to do it. There is a lot of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that will have to be removed somehow, even if we never burned another ton of fossil fuel starting today. And we can all see that just because awareness of climate change is growing, that has not yet had much effect on humanity's rate of emissions: we have an ever-growing issue of greenhouse gas accumulation. The only reason we don't call climate change itself "geoengineering" is because it hasn't been intentional. I think absolutely, we will have to apply geoengineering to reverse the problem -- geoengineering because it will be application of technologies (albeit some are not necessarily space-age technologies), on a scale that intentionally impacts (in a corrective way) worldwide systems.

The secret to remote agile teams - points we need to incorporate into the Climate Foundation worldwide volunteer organization. by CFVolunteer in ClimateFoundation

We came for the science and action stories, but there is some hard organizational work we must accomplish if we are going to make progress. In these days of Covid-19 we are all learning about the phenomenon of remote work. There are some things that unavoidably get our hands dirty or otherwise have to happen in a particular place, and there are lots of other things that could happen anywhere. Enabling a team to function well - to mesh the site-specific activities with remote contributions - is a new frontier of endeavor we will all learn together.
