"#AirConditioners used as a solution against #urban #heat are actually making it worse."
#Singapore, the #GardenCity, is still a #concrete jungle and "#HeatIsland" and is trying to make use of passive #technologies, like greenery, both on the street and the #skyscraper level.
Back alleys can reach 60° C (140° F) due to #AC usage.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is rethinking every aspect of #city living, where most people live and to where most are moving.

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.

"...what we see is that #ClimateChange is by far the worst enemy. So yes, these things will have #environtmental effects, but we should put them in that context of #climate change."
It's critical that we implement now as many good options as we have, as widely as we can, as work on ever better #ClimateSolutions continues.
We must do Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.

"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.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange solutions can benefit everyone, everywhere, all the time.

"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
Yes, and...
The Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #philosophy and #strategy to mitigate #ClimateChange includes rethinking the purposes and goals of #capitalist #production and #economic growth.
What we do, and why we do, aren't separate from how we live and die.

"...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.
Ricardo Harvin
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #solutions to #ClimateChange include producing and consuming less.
#Corporations are the worst #polluters because they #manufacture demand and need (e.g. planned obsolescence), then recklessly #pollute to meet that artificially inflated "need" for goods.
We must decrease our individual #consumerism while also forcing #businesses to stop polluting.
Ending #corporate #pollution and our rampant consumption are both required, and more.

Without fundamentally changing how our society functions, even the best Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation strategies will only slow the rate of our impending demise, when the goal must be to not just to avert that demise, but to reverse as much damage as we can so we can thrive in harmony with our #environment.
It's clear our collective priorities have failed, and we need a new way forward.

#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.

Literally doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is our only, our final, chance to mitigate #ClimateChange.
A #philosophy and #strategy that employs the full range of #solutions we have (and creates new ones) is what we must follow if we hope to survive, and hopefully thrive.
Ricardo Harvin
"As #human #civilization continues to grow, our need for #sand will grow too. But that doesn't...mean that the way we exploit our #environment needs to grow..."
"We have to figure out ways to live our lives, and to build our #cities...where most people live, in ways that just consume less across the board...less of everything, and that is very much doable."
Not using Everything, Everywhere, All at Once may be the best #ClimateChange mitigation solution of all.
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.

"I refuse to think that it's too late...I'm working my ass off to work on ways to fix this."
#ClimateChange is already changing where #insects and wild #animals live, spreading the range—and sometimes increasing the lethality—of "modern" #pathogens while also releasing human-infectious, long frozen (up to a million years, so far) pathogens we're unfamiliar with, and against which we may have no #ImmuneDefenses.
Everything, Everywhere All at Once solutions, now.
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.

#ClimateChange mitigation as an Everything, Everywhere, All at Once philosophy and strategy, in action at #MossyEarth.
Their videos are hopeful and examples of the kinds of ideas and real world projects that I believe we need to implement, well, #EEAAO

"...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.
