There is a collaborative project in Santa Fe, the Quivira Coalition, in which Courtney White works with farmers to develop rotational crops that are designed to deposit carbon.
Establish a carbon tax, eliminate subsidies and environmental exemptions, these are the measures that would help the creation of a free market, and that would make renewable energy competitive at last.
The planetary geo-engineering, by contrast, is slow and expensive, but once the humanity cuts its emissions by switching to renewable energy sources such as solar or nuclear power, future generations will be able to defeat the all carbon.
However, working for this purpose could be a good legacy for the next generation, compared to the current policy of siding against geoengineering for fear they might turn away from considering the elimination of emissions as the only way to salvation.
The debate on climate change and on measures to be taken is focused on rural areas-Arctic communities forced to move by melting permafrost in, submerged towns from rural fuss while their water resources are drained.
Inside, 3D printers are buzzing while architects and engineers assemble the pieces and will test the mechanics of a huge square table filled with rulers and tools that replicate the stresses and strains.
The Future City Lab team believes that there are great possibilities of adaptation to climate change through a set of architectural principles, industrial and landscape design, ecology and robotics-all this creates a futuristic vision weird yet reasonable.
Kelly Johnson showed me the Hydramax project, sister of the Bay Bridge colony, to reinvent the San Francisco coast when the sea level has begun to rise.
Their plan included a network of a city-colonies focused on producing wind energy, sustainable agriculture, on a water-purification which, all together, they reinvented the way in which men can live on this earth changing .
