1/
One year anniversary of self-publishing "A New Faith" - some obligatory promotion starting with the context -
#Canada #Norway and #China have a bit of a problem. Could include #US #Russia in the list (but well... y'know!). There is a potential solution for that problem.
Canada/Norway depend a LOT on exporting #oil while China exports a lot of everything - e.g. #solar #batteries #EV
2/
Chinese #population is shrinking and they seem to be frugal folks - which means domestic part of the economy is going nowhere including #construction
Canada/Norway are, essentially, on a collision course with China (#oil Vs #EV)
What to do?
Canada/Norway have lots of empty land which is relatively more habitable than the equatorial region which is rapidly becoming a hellscape due to #climatechange
3/
What if these two partner with China (awesome #construction skills in terms of cost, scale, and speed) to build new #cities on that empty land and rent them out to a #global #organization such as the #UN to house #climate #refugees ?
The new residents of the new cities do NOT need to be full-fledged citizens of those two host countries. The new residents work hard to raise revenues from which they pay the rent to the host countries.
4/
The residents could be chosen in a way to prioritize the most vulnerable folks from the #climate ravaged poorest parts of the world who happen to be also the most conscientious, hard-working, and responsible folks - e.g. young #women
All three countries would be better off economically in a major way and don’t have to do bad things such as sell #oil or force their population to procreate and consume more! The #climate affected get a chance to not just survive but thrive!

Well, that is the context for the uplifting #climatefiction #book “A New Faith” - https://tinjar.ghost.io/a-new-faith
Happy reading!
