Our current economic engine is showing signs of stress fractures and triggering failures which may resolve themselves with cascade failures – complete shutdown of the system in question – with little or no warning.
It has taken twenty years but humanity is starting to accept the true nature of climate change is how we live in society. Naysayers are losing steam as storms and environmental disasters reduce their commentary about climate into background noise predicated on suffering. The real question becomes what’s next?
In our second episode on Triggers and Cascade Failures, we will consider the Pace of Change. What will it take for humanity to become more proactive in its problem-solving?
• Is our current mode of problem-solving based in our biology?
• Are we unable to solve a problem that isn’t already killing us?
• Is our allegiance to money so overpowering we can’t pivot society in the ways we need to in order to forestall the most deleterious effects of climate change? What will it take?
• Why are politics the worst way to address climate change in the modern world?
• Are autocratic or less democratic countries like China more likely to make the shift?
• China has been making a variety of efforts to start tackling climate inequities, but will they be enough?
• Or are autocracies just as blind and unable to evolve as democracies appear to be?
Join us for the next two weeks as we discuss climate change, climate transformation, new reduced carbon emission technologies and the social struggles involved in making the transition to a World
Without Carbon, next on Climate Change by the Elements, now with Coronavirus!
