#Climate change mitigation is cheaper than #adaptation, but we need both 👇. It's rarely 'either/or' in this space, almost always 'both/and'. Which begs the question of how to pay.

After ending #fossilfuel subsidies (innovations like any UK #tax on airline fuel🤯) I come back to #CarbonCurrency as an idea that could work at the required, gigantic scale. HT Delton Chen, Kim Stanley Robinson etc.

I'm proud to present my #review of #kimStanleyRobinson 's #theMinistryForTheFuture : https://alxd.org/ministry-for-the-future-review.html#ministry-for-the-future-review

Be warned, it's a #longRead !

After three long years of struggling with the book and analyzing it I finally put my thoughts into a coherent blogpost. I never expected the Ministry to be #solarpunk , but I hoped that it will paint a future to look forward to.

The Messiah & The God-Emperor of Zurich: a review of Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry for the Future"

As someone deeply interested in Solarpunk and climate fiction in general, I encountered a lot of recommendations of "The Ministry For The Future" by the esteemed science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson (later: KSR). The endorsements came from activists, academics, writers and game designers, programmers and climate entrepreneurs: everyone around me seemed to be impressed with the book. It is said to draw a comprehensive, grim, realistic, and yet still optimistic trajectory of our civilization towards a better, sustainable future past the Climate Catastrophe. The author consulted it with over 40 scientists, activists, and conservationists who made sure that "The Ministry…" presented us with a grounded vision. I started reading it deeply intrigued and hopeful, impressed by the scale and scope of the book, stunned by the rawness of the first chapters. However, as I turned the pages, I quickly stopped in my tracks: I realized that "The Ministry…" is very different to what I assumed it is, to what my friends described when recommending it to me. I struggled to continue, clenching my teeth …

Here’s my introductory piece on #cryptoanarchism and #crypto from an anarchist perspective.

Meant for laymen who somewhat or not familiar with crypto, I look at the ideology of crypto-anarchism and what uses can these technologies provide for alternative economies.

Crypto-anarchism - Ruben Pater - Medium

The media can’t seem to get enough of Bitcoin, Blockchain, NTFs, web3 and other crypto buzzwords. Not in the least because it has made a handful of people extremely wealthy. Yet crypto-technology…

The Indicator from #PlanetMoney's Thursday episode promoted #CarbonCoin from the book "The Ministry for the Future" as "a novel idea" to address #ClimateChange. I have mixed feelings about it. (1/n)

Carbon coin is similar to cap and trade. In cap and trade, the gov't issues a fixed number of credits giving companies permission to emit CO2 or other pollutants. In carbon coin, credits are issued as a *reward* for sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere.

The carbon coin: A novel idea

What if we could engineer a path towards solving the climate crisis...with monetary policy? Kim Stanley Robinson's novel The Ministry for the Future considers this question, and the idea is catching on in real life too.
