if you take a liter of water, and pour it on the surface of a glacier, that liter will never freeze. Instead it will follow the laws of gravity and continue to seep its way down and through the ice, slowly then ever faster, melting its path until stopped or reaches its end. The Permafrost has melted its upper layers and the water is doing the same as the liter of water on the glacier. It cannot refreeze. The Permafrost is going to melt and release as much Methane as the Industrial era did. Do what you can to off set the current problem but know there is more to come we cannot do anything about.

@zakeibc

China has really stepped up their game with highly efficient solar panels and integrated wind farms in agricultural land along majority of their east coast. Further upstream they have dams that generate electricity and lots of green initiatives supported by policy (i.e. EV adoption, circular economy for manufacturing, greening of cities). Along highways you would also see billboards describing the nationwide carbon neutral plans and this is also supported by tech innovation in related fields. I can’t say i know much about India’s situation but China is definitely putting in effort though.

If you want to improve electric cars you need to reduce the weight by at least 30%. Using generative technologies to improve structural components would be a great way of looking at the problem. If you look at the shapes used in nature to produce skeletal structures solid materials are uncommon.
It’s not impossible to use rotational jig mechanisms to create elliptical architecture.
Steel is a big factor when it comes to uses of energy and steel mills cost billions of pounds to produce. Granular deposition mediums could be produced and carried logistically to point of use without the need for cranes if they are piped. We could look at ways of producing granular alloy mediums that are less susceptible to oxidation if laid using from atmosphere nitrogen and carbon dioxide and suitable flux materials instead of pre packaged shielding gases. Maybe even localised vacuums could help limit oxidisation of materials as they are deposited.
Let’s say for instance you start off with a grounding spike that will serve as an earth. The jig let’s postulate could for instance be a circular arrangement for arguments sake although many shapes would work. The central deposition rotor could be preprogrammed to create a threaded central support spike that would be rotated into the ground as a primary pile until enough support is gained to start ascending. Companion rotor heads can produce external steel members and help to support the upward momentum. A combination of cam teeth and worm gears drive the jig up the primary central column and the secondary exterior columns. The arc of the rotary disposition heads will be electrically grounded via the columns back to a below ground level earthing pole. After each stage of ascension ceramic or carbonate (concrete) coatings could be added to moulds external of the steel columns. The whole jig would rotate to produce an external lattice offering support in either direction and also mean that glazing and solar collection films could be added after skeletal construction. The jig assembly will most likely need to be airlifted from the uppermost tapper of the ellipse and repositioned for the next production of a structure. Eventually we could produce climbing bots for production of more advanced designs away from rotational symmetries but in the immediate future jigs would be suitable. Creating layers inside the structure would be achieved with horizontal granular metallic deposition heads before printing complete flooring layouts also tying together the central column with the exterior lattice column structures. We should look to incorporate complete biological and mechanical filtration for sustainable use without prolonged external resource use so that the same techniques can be used to create habits suitable for interplanetary expansion. If we are really clever with our designs the electrical and aqueous needs of the inhabitants can be printed into the structures from the ground level and if used where a suitable water table height is available the initial seed water extraction could take place from the water table itself.

Much as I’d like to believe all this it has more than a whiff of boosterism. Only 20% of the world has enough access to sun or wind to go renewables. There are interconnectors but they lose energy after some multiples of hundreds of miles. Though a promising technology is Geothermal. It is a relatively new technology in its modern iteration. So we are left with Nuclear Energy that with Modular Nuclear has come down dramatically in price & improved in safety. Fact is fossil fuels kills 8.1 million a year while indirect effects such as wild fires, floods et al destroys more lives & through the destruction of crops kills yet more people so Nuclear was always safer. (It does need an international Safety Inspectorate to avoid crass mistakes.) Fossil fuels also cripple & harm or destroy every organ in the body especially of the young & the elderly. I lost the sight in my Left Eye I’m told most likely because of London pollution. Electric vehicles are good to cut this pollution that also kills animals but until a cheap & effective battery is developed it is massively polluting in its development. There is the other problem in the amount of expensive materials needed. This change can be done but with much greater difficulty then presented here & in longer time scales. The only technology capable of crossing the gap of about 60 to 100 years is Nuclear Energy. Major thing is in my 81 years I have seen 97% of insects destroyed 70% or more of wild places 95% of small birds 80% of all land & sea creatures. So on a modest pension I support 7 enviromental/wild life organisations plus Amnesty & Labour.

I saw some great insight and stories in this show. I also had the feeling all the way through it that it was maybe a little optimistic not that optimistic is a really bad thing in fact if we’re going to keep going he’s a certain amount of it. When it came to the art towards the end where you started talking about food I was thinking oh finally they might do it and no you talked about a plant-based food and all plant-based foods have lower emissions than animal based foods and we can switch individually any of us can I can’t believe that wasn’t talked about one biggest single thing that you can do to have the biggest impact like as an individual is to switch to a plant-based diet preferably 100% fat face. And you chose to talk about rice and not animal farming I feel like this is greenwashing.. trying to take the eyes off the biggest culprit when it comes to food and when you talk about the farming emissions you didn’t talk about in every way that farming contributes to climate change and environmental breakdown the loss of diversity and dead zones in the ocean. Because most of that is from animal agriculture. You have to understand it’s not just about emissions it’s what are we going to do to capture all the greenhouse gases and we haven’t even stopped putting them out yet.. but let’s just say we went 100% green today these gases will still be around for many many years at least a century and maybe more. It’s about all the forest fires and everything that’s already happening because of the amount of gases we have in the atmosphere and we’re losing our Covington because they’re burning of course are burning we need to plant more trees where we’re going to find land plant more trees well things like wasting 75% of what is used for agriculture right now because we’re eating animals..
