With Earth experiencing hyper-fast change in human footprints, heat-trapping CO2, species mobility, energy & information tech, what the hell do you work on to boost confidence in sustainable progress? (Add deep complexity + @deepuncertainty)

Boost & spread key *capacities*. 1/3
In 2013, I proposed this shorthand for capacities to boost and spread in pursuit of #SDGs or your preferred definition of enduring human progress on a thriving planet:

Bend, stretch, reach, teach, reveal, reflect, rejoice, repeat. #DotEarth context: j.mp/bendstretchrea… 2/3
I explored this "bend, stretch, reach, teach..." menu in a @TEDx talk in Portland: j.mp/tedxperfect 3/3

It's evolved since then. I have added the word "respect"... Wonder why..

Watch, read, react (with respect).

Loving #solarpunk. In sync with #ecomodernism but different roots, visions. Been hoping for something like this. On sea level, e.g., given j.mp/climatemomentum, *someone* has to get juiced about designing for a future with no new "normal" coastline & #deepuncertainty. 1/3
There were hints of #solarpunk in the young MIT #oceanengineering crew at the @UNHABITAT #floatingcities special meeting, but really just beginnings. j.mp/ngfloatingciti….. But.. 2/3
I think there are also hints of #solarpunk in the #farmhack community I first encountered years ago at @StoneBarns: dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/on-… And via @Rainmaker1973 here: 3/3

@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes Vital @cleancooking point about lag in $$ for cooking energy under #se4all #adg7. A new coalition focused on energy gap for the rural poor has made a compelling case for more such investment to be directed to last-mile households, & biomass options. 1/ pathways2cleancooking.info
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy I was happy to facilitate finding #roomforagreement in Pathways to #CleanCooking meeting last week. I was a #biomasscooking skeptic, like many focused mainly on #PM25, for which #LPG is clear scaleable option. But saw #stacking reality - clean and smoky cooking together in India.
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy The declaration that emerged makes vital #cleancooking and #sdg7 points. Those gathered had different vantage points, but overcame resistance to #responsediversity & found common agenda. To me, next step is widening circles. Wicked problems need everyone engaged. #energyjustice

@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes e.g., the core narrative that CO2-driven warming is a "problem to solve." Given known knowns on social, CO2 fronts, seems far more an emergent risk to work on in a sustained way. The attached slide puts this in the context of other "War On.." issues. 1/
@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes Others are increasingly making this point, including @wenstephenson and even former @@UNFCCC leader @CFigueres... 2/

She stressed #parisagreement set us on a very long journey toward a climate-resilient, post-carbon world. 3/

1) POSSIBLE #QANON DECODE FOR PAIN IN _ _ _-23

Trump tweeted today telling the MSM to look into the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).

So for fun, I went & studied the IEEPA. And I found a few interesting tidbits.

Plesse note that Trump’s tweet is dated AUG-23.
2) WHY DID Q EXPOSE
THE PASSWORD...
“PAIN IN _ _ _-23”

Many thought this Q crumb could be a reference to a date like AUG-23 (which was today).

Q also hinted it could have another meaning. Some believe it is about SJR-23 9/14/01.

But could it ALSO be about something else?
3) LETS LOOK AT THE IEEPA FOR CLUES SINCE TRUMP TWEETED ABOUT IT TODAY

The IEEPA is known as Public Law 95-223. This could be written as 952-23 and would also fit the model of _ _ _ -23

I know it is a stretch but let’s dig a little deeper into 952-23 to look for coincidences.

 Here's another UN dig.
This is WBCSD's InfoGraphic of the UN's 'sustainability plan' beginning in 2010, spanning to 2050.
Review👇🏻this link👇🏻. Download it. Read it.
docs.wbcsd.org/2017/03/Vision…
It's the "Pathway toward a sustainable 2050".
2/
 At first glance it's pretty overwhelming.
This massive infoGraphic is titled on the left:
"VISION 2050: THE NEW AGENDA FOR BUSINESS"
3/
 Now you may be wondering who WBCSD is.
WBCSD is the "World Business Council for Sustainable Development".
Yep, there it is. The 'catch' word. "SUSTAINABLE". We all know by now that this is 100% 'UN lingo' so that's a UN confirmation without even doing the research.

THREAD on IEA, IPCC, & 1.5°C scenarios

The @IEA is getting pressure to do a 1.5°C scenario. We have an #IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C #SR15, so why not do a comparison...

As it happens, some IEA scenarios fall in the envelope of 1.5°C scenarios...

1/ ipcc.ch/sr15/
What are the IEA scenarios?
* Energy Technology Perspectives 2°C scenario (2DS, not in #SR15 database)
* ETP Beyond 2°C Scenario (B2DS, in database)
* IEA Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS, not in database)
* IEA Faster Transition Scenarios (SDS to net-zero, in database)
2/
The CO₂ emissions from energy & industry (not LUC) for the two IEA scenarios are rather similar to the 1.5°C with no or low overshoot
* IEA B2DS is roughly consistent with 1.75°C warming in 2100 (though, #SR15 does not assess this)
* IEA Faster Transition is assessed as 2°C

France presented today its #energy and #climate strategy. It has four goals:
1 - To cut #energy consumption
2 - To turn away from #fossilfuels
3 - To diversify its #energy mix
4 - To keep things affordable, increase jobs and innovate medias.businessimmo.com/default/0002/3…
The overall target of France's strategy for #energy and #climate is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through cutting GHG emissions down significantly and also increasing carbon sinks
France wants to cut #CO2 emissions down to 227 Mt in 10 years by cutting final #energy consumption 14% and primary #energy from #fossilfuels by 35%. Also, increasing #renewable heating and doubling the #electricity from renewables. Note: transport emissions vanish by 2050.
