They are concerned that certain areas will not have the adequate infrastructure and cooling units to protect the people if the climate changes to such a degree. I was therefore thinking of ways that we can prepare or avoid such a future with respect to our climate. In my humble opinion, we should look at society from a viewpoint that includes our people, communities, cities, organizations and governments. Find ways to restructure our world and all of our processes in a sustainable way so that we can not only avoid such a climate situation but improve the very structure of our society at the same time. If its due to carbon emissions we should look at further ways to reduce those emissions by funding new technologies and improving upon all our sectors so that we can jumpstart the economy whilst planning for the future. New grants for business to hire more environmental and scientific sectors to chart new cleaner and more efficient machines and buildings that lower the cost of operation while protecting the environment and our collective future. Perhaps we can look into ways to trap the carbon by drawing it to collectors like magnets targeted specifically to the chemical waste or by placing filter systems on all vents and smokestacks. This will create entire new industries, improve upon existing industries and chart a sustainable path for our people. Additionally, if this is due to ozone depletion we should look into ways of improving the ozone layer in a safe manner. I've said on social media before that perhaps partnered with our friends at NASA and other space agencies we can launch cover satellites, that expand solar collectors over the parts of the globe that are affected to reduce temperature in that area and collect power for our space missions. The satellite would be in a stable tidally locked orbit to ensure that it matched the rotation of the earth perfectly. The creation of these would generate new industries as well for monitoring, fabrication, engineering and chemical jobs and will allow us to not only protect the earth but also create a more robust communications network that stretches the globe to allow all of us to communicate. I would create the satellites to run on solar power with redundant backups for propulsion, communications and have additional solar cells that can be expanded if damage occurs to the cell. Perhaps in the design of these we can have solar cell mesh that is allows particles to slip through to hopefully minimize any tearing while still being efficient. This concept is similar to propping up an umbrella when your are the beach but instead its for the entire planet if needed. These satellites would double as communication hubs for both terrestrial communication by continents and cities but also allow us to communicate within the system to the future bases on the moon and mars that we will build. Eventually our moon base will be the central hub to communications within the system but for now the satellites will provide limited communication for our initial steps forward. The satellites would be in a synchronous orbit with the others and have access to real time sensor data and orbit trajectories and adjust orbit if a collision is detected. Additionally, we should work towards artificial enhancements to our cities, including shade canopies that collect solar power to cool the city and offset the costs of building operations. Coupled with new water infrastructure in the form of new continent wide aqueducts, we should be able to prepare certain areas for increased heat output in any capacity and also help farmers to keep crops from scorching. Indoor greenhouses and food skyscraper farms would also be a prudent measure in every city but especially in these hardest hit areas. Our oil industry would be perfect to pivot focus to building the water aqueducts and filtration systems as their employees would have the variable skillsets to chart the land and build liquid transfer systems. Additionally, you might want to look at redesign of future cities to include enclosed walkways similar to systems in place in countries like Canada. This way on hot days you can have people walk to their destinations through indoor channels that connect the different buildings in the city. Perhaps even create adjuncts of your subways to allow for more safe and monitored connection tunnels underground. I would also look into creating more parks with trees and start more tree planning initiatives within cities as the trees would also help keep those areas cool and provide both beauty and functionality. We should also create or bolster environmental science in every country to actively pursue, design and implement ways to help our society adapt to our changing planet. Companies who implement these measures will reduce costs as they will avoid environmental disasters or inefficiencies while creating sustainable power grids and resource recycling. Perhaps even finding a way to capture and utilize our waste products during manufacturing and see if they can be reused for other industries. There have been explorations into utilizing the base components of environmental waste to separate valuable molecules and reuse them for other applications. Reviewing options in this field may allow business to increase revenue while decreasing waste. We can no longer make the planet adapt to us we have to adapt our world and people. We must increase our resilience and adaptability to rise above any future disaster or disease and realize that we are a part of the system of this planet and we must work with it not against. Together we can not only survive this and any future crisis but thrive in spite of them. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2 ReplyForward
