I'd like this sub to be an exploration of strategies for changing the world to prevent dangerous global warming.
A sub for good news in the fight on climate change
Cool tech that might help welcome too
Self posts encouraged.
No real rules just be excellent to one another, bad vibes will get comments removed.
Oh, except misinformation and climate change denial. We don't want that here.
The overall vibe one should have here is: 'things are fucky, but its all going to be ok because_________'
Also: No US politics.

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am a Democrat running for Congress to represent Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which includes Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.
While I would be the first Millennial and first Asian-American ever elected to represent Maryland in Congress, I am specifically running because I have comprehensive policy solutions that will open the doors of opportunity for our community.
This is an open seat with no incumbent, and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.
My top policy priorities include:
Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!

In recent years I have become interested in the hobby of backyard snowmaking.
Backyard snowmaking is when someone takes a pressure washer and compressed air and combines it to create a small backyard snowgun. In temperatures below around 28 degrees people can cover their backyard with a layer of snow.
I have seen hundreds of people doing this, and I believe if this was scaled up a bit, we could slightly increased the earths reflectivity
Ski resorts have already done this (slightly) and new refrigeration technology will allow snow to be made in temps as high as 80 degrees.
Perhaps this is a way to increase the earths albedo.
Hi Reddit, I made a climate solutions database, Slack & Whatsapp community and resource hub (via Notion) for climate companies looking to fundraise, network & find partners or clients, land grant funding and more...
Love to know what you think and how I can improve this to make more valuable for the climate community and promote more synergies between startups, corps, VCs & govts to accelerate green transition
Thanks!

A recent BBC radio 2 report has my brain worried regarding carbon parts per million.
In summary; if we halt all net positive carbon tomorrow, we'd still be basically screwed for at least 50 years with warming, ocean acidification and various weather instabilities.
This leads to an obvious point: we must no longer look to alternative power and de-carbonisation of industry/transport as the ultimate solution to this problem. But only a valid stepping stone. - The ultimate solution should surely be active removal of carbon from the atmosphere
So, here I am posting for a open discussion on technologies future or otherwise that could extract carbon in vast quantities and put it to use.From what I understand of the current deployed methods:
I imagine the idea solution would fit the following criteria:
Easily maintainable
A conceptual idea I've had recently: is some kind of chemical device (nanotechnology?) which extracts carbon by bonding to another compound and causes it to migrate from the atmosphere to a different altititue, which could then be harvested, extracted and used for industrial application. I know this sounds like sci-fi, but I believe this type of thinking is required.
I know it is not "the solution" but I'm wondering why more emphasis isn't being done on this low hanging fruit especially in desert regions ...
Africa had plans of reforesting Sahara ... and they started why haven't the West offered support ?
