There’s just too much going on for any one person to understand it all. Never mind accounting for the geopolitical, economic, and cultural factors of every situation. Than there’s the rapidly changing contexts. New technology, new science and physics, new species of bacteria/fungai. Rediscovering of ancient practices. Regional problems and solutions. I could go on and on.
I advocate for “futuristic solutions” but I acknowledge that transition will not be overnight or always linear.
So what is going on out there? That’s what I’m asking c/climate@slrpnk
-
What’s going on in your local region / etc and what is the political or economic context.
-
Which solutions are being implemented or developed
-
Who is organizing and leading their community towards solutions

As a Canadian I’m aware that we’re expanding our LNG/Fracking, mineral mining, and oil… First Nations groups are providing some pushback against those projects, but we can’t expect them to hold the line on ecological protection (There’s a clear fiscal incentive for them to give in).

Canada also has and ongoing protest to stop old growth forest logging, which has gotten out of control. I honestly don’t know what to think about our forest management, because I’m under the impression that logging can be done in an environmentally friendly way; but it isn’t.

Canada also has a lot of old hydro-electric dams which are bad for the rivers and their immediate environment. https://www.ucs.org/resources/environmental-impacts-hydroelectric-power
I’m hopeful Canada’s growing role as a global commodity supplier will allow us to set higher international environmental standards.
I’ve also read online that there are already climate refugees from both rising oceans and regional droughts upending agriculture in the middle east.

While I don’t disagree with that quote it’s not what I’m looking for. Philosophical economic theory is talked about ad nauseum on literally every other community.
I posted on c/climate because I want to hear specific cases and incidents from a scientific and ecological perspective.
Tell me what you know is going on locally, nationally, internationally. I could list 10 or so things from the USA but I’m not from there so I’ll let locals chime in.
That wasn’t a philosophical economic theory. It was a very concise assessment of the conclusion drawn of tens of thousands of papers in the ecology and related fields. It is correct and succint. The Stockholm Centre’s Planetary Boundaries framework is a little more detailed if that is what you are looking for.
I get that it’s not what you wanted. But I find your request convoluted. Are you really trying to crowdsource a list of local environmental activities from a little used sub on a little used platform? You think these fractured and limited insights will help you understand the “Big Picture”? Big pictures don’t come from microscopes.
Perhaps rethink your wants and reformulate the request to something more coherent.
It’s not what I was looking for but at least it was a positive contribution. Unlike this comment of yours.
No, seriously. I have no idea what you are asking for.
And yet you inserted yourself into the conversation anyways.
Asking for clarification? Are you just a bad faith poster picking fights?
That’s some projection mate.
