@rewiringamerica wants a wartime-like effort to transform quickly enough to RE, low emission agriculture and circular material use.

But see the bulge? In Japan / Germany it's war industry, in US NewDeal and war. But UK avoided the peak by rationing everything (not merely fuel).

A 10yr NON-profit system hiatus, rations and home guarantees - in an initial alliance of states, soon joined by almost all -
not only avoids a lethal🌍peak, @rewiringamerica, but also unrest globally, workers union disputes, existential fears, and speeds up the transformation.

Via rations for everybody for everything for 10yrs like UK did with(!) population consent,

high consumption stops: 🐄✈️and extraction, manufacturing, transport from one production step to the next. A reduction of ≥ 35% in richer countries;
From 30Gt to 19Gt in 🟦🟥 at avg 5tpc

In democracies, majorities suffice. No need for the consent of the rich 20% in a society should they not agree to rations. It's toughest for them, from their perspective..true. But global heating is worse for most people than letting go off getting groceries by car or✈️to Aspen🤷‍♀️

Whats needed is a wartime-like effort in education re budget and impacts at 1.5-3C to form political will and majorities for rations&non-profit.
Billboards in public spaces to be seen daily not only once a week, and seen by all, not only @guardian readers:

I planned the non-profit system hiatus on a beermat: an alliance of states begins in 2021, almost all others join soon, US last by 2027 when they realise GreenDeal kicks them to 4˚C.
CO2-only emissions from 2019 - 2030 then are 300Gt, by 2030 global CO2 is 10Gt/a.

If you want to you can read more here threadreaderapp.com/thread/1286146… the thread started in a discussion about carbon rationing - which doesn't fit the requirements. Also, I say a bit about why cars must go, too. @rewiringamerica says, everybody can get an EV. But that's not sustainable.

In deep crises, fascist nationalist far-right grab power and ditch climate policy; eg 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇷🇭🇺🇮🇹...
IF that happens after Covid or weather disasters🔥🌍🔥
It's important for people in crises to experience solidarity as food on their plates

This piece by @AndrewSimms_uk is of interest re how the UK managed to get consent from all the population for rations from 1939 - 1956. rapidtransition.org/stories/when-e…
We'll repeat the side effect of a healthier population: in rich states bc diet is healthier, in poor bc they get more🍲.

And if societies want they can debate and prepare system change for after the system hiatus.

Debate and setting in motion takes time. Too long to wait for, now. But when the system is already halted during the hiatus, societies can debate and easier change what needs change.

@threadreaderapp unroll

This growing alliance of states not only tackles the technical side of the 6 revolutions, energy, agriculture, transport, raw material use, heating/cooling, urban design,

it fosters that needed sense of hope and global solidarity🖖💪; both a dam against cancerous fascist spread
