Solarpunk didn't start in a Silicon Valley whitepaper. It started in a Brazilian anthology, in Portuguese. The future has always been more global than we pretend.

We're grateful today to Andrew Dana Hudson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing ... An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!”
What are you grateful for this first Monday of spring?

Still a bit spendy, but I could see something like this being the basic workboat for people working and living near the estuaries of drowning cities.

Here's a clear write-up by @hausfath on the current state of global CO2 emissions. The good news is that the world is clearly emitting less than the "worst cases" scenario of a decade ago.
"Flattening the curve of global emissions is only the first step in a long road to get it all the way down to zero."

Series In the annual Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook, CLICCS researchers make the first systematic attempt to assess which climate futures are plausible, by combining multidisciplinary assessments of plausibility. Current Issue The purpose of this second Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook is to systematically analyze and assess the plausibility of certain well-defined climate futures based on present knowledge of social drivers and physical processes. In particular, we assess the plausibility of those climate futures that are envisioned by the 2015 Paris Agreement, namely holding global warming to well below 2°C and, if possible, to 1.5°C, relative to pre-industrial levels (UNFCCC 2015, Article 2 paragraph 1a). The world will have to reach a state of deep decarbonization by 2050 to be compliant with the 1.5°C goal. We therefore work with a climate future scenario that combines emissions and temperature goals.
