There are basically (always a simplification) two kinds of writing about global ecology dealing differently with some core questions: what is it, where it is going, and what we can do about it.
I think the boat's already sinking. The first type of thinking ignores the fact that it's sinking and continues to try to steer the ship. The second type of thinking tries to figure out how to abandon ship without dying. That's where I feel stuck. How do we abandon this sinking ship without just falling into the ocean and drowning?
There will be emerging opportunities as the ship comes apart. Pieces of the old will be repurposed. These will probably be short term because, the worst, the amity to sequester relies on tech innovations that will be increasing limited as the grid, finance, contract law, come undone. A lot wll happen before the ship gos under water but the cost is likely to be high. We need to help invent and keep aware of new emerging undreamt of possibilities. It will be chaotic but things will happen.
