The "Good, Bad, and Ugly" of #ClimateChange mitigation in #charts.
The linked article shows things that are working, things that aren't, and things that may make it all worse, and has comments and suggestions for each.
It includes a call for personal action as well because, though too many #climate #activists hate that, we need an Everything, Everywhere, All at Once strategy for climate solutions that literally leaves *nothing* that helps undone.

We must do Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to mitigate #ClimateChange, including reducing our #GreenhouseGas #emissions and removing #carbon from our #atmosphere.
#Greenwashing #scams like carbon #offsets do nothing to save us #climate change because they ignore the existing problems.
We need serious and sustained actions to reverse the damage we've already done while also stopping the damage we continue to do.
Ricardo Harvin
There isn't a single aspect of #modernity that we can afford to overlook when considering how we can reduce or eliminate our releasing of #GreenhouseGasses into the #atmosphere including, but not limited to, #carbon, the most abundant of such #gasses #human activity produces.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once includes improving our #building #materials, like #concrete and #cement.

"...we are past the point where the actions of individual countries can move the needle on #ClimateChange."
Doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is the only viable #climate change mitigation strategy that can possibly save #human #civilization and our #species.
On national and international scales, we must all work together on projects like building #HVDC #SuperGrid connectivity.
#Decarbonization is both a #security and #existential necessity.
Ricardo Harvin
Yes, we can do Everything, Everywhere, All at Once through projects big and small to mitigate #ClimateChange.
There isn't just one answer, one solution, one goal, or one target that will save us, it's all of it that must be done because all of it is what we've broken or destroyed.
Ricardo Harvin
It will take everyone doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once for us to survive #ClimateChange as a #civilization and #species.
The kids know, even as too many of us adults pretend we don't.

#Sustainable #cooling and "#ThermalComfortForAll" may be achieved by including a passive, #Bioclimatic approach to the rapidly increasing need for cooling in nearly every part of the world.
#TheCoolingWeb is an Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation solution that can be adopted and adapted to work everywhere #temperatures are high, or rising.
Ricardo Harvin
"...that transition to a low #carbon future is not going to happen overnight. We need realistic options and #technologies that allow us to #decarbonize our existing #applications."
Too many insist that only "perfect" #ClimateChange mitigation solutions are worth pursuing.
I believe that doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is the *best*, imperfect, strategy for saving us from our ongoing #climate disaster.
By ever-improving "good" options, we can save ourselves.

"I've long said, when I think #climate—not a joke—I think jobs." – President #JoeBiden
That lack of insight into and appreciation of the literal #existential threat to #humans of our ongoing and worsening #ClimateChange disaster is a clear indication that #Biden is too removed from reality.
"It's humanity, stupid."
The Everything, Everywhere, All at Once strategy can't work if key solutions are #monopolized.
Ricardo Harvin
"A total #CarbonFree #grid is getting easier and easier to imagine. It's just a question of whether we can get there in time."
Storing #energy generated by #renewable #technologies like #solar, #wind, and #water is a problem that requires new types of #batteries to allow for a stable grid.
For example, #iron #rusting #chemistry is one potential Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation #EnergyStorage and discharge solution I'd never heard of before.
Ricardo Harvin
Is the #US finally ready to start responding to #ClimateChange as a serious and immediate existential threat?
It's too early to know, but this seems it may be a good start.
A concerted effort that is tailored for the many different regions and #ecosystems of this vast and highly-polluting nation could really be a great Everything, Everywhere, All at Once response that benefits us all, #ecologically and #economically.
