15:20 - "I believe that we will solve this within a hundred years". Wish I shared your (longer term) optimism. I think we've had it.

I do not see the case for such optimism. Maybe it's a sort of genetical survivor's bias.

尼尔·斯蒂芬森(Neal Stephenson)将朗读他的新书《终结的冲击》(Termination Shock),并与Long Now的执行董事亚历山大·罗斯(Alexander Rose)讨论有关气候变化的长期愿景、可怕的风险和潜在的解决方案。 尼尔·斯蒂芬森(Neal Stephenson)这本全面的、有先见之明的新小说将读者带到了一个近未来的世界,在这个世界里,温室效应不可避免地导致了超级风暴、海平面上升、全球洪水、无情的热浪和致命的大流行病的旋涡式对流层的出现。 有一个人,一个有远见的亿万富翁餐饮连锁巨头,有一个扭转全球变暖的大想法,这个总体计划也许最好被描述为"elemental"。但它会成功吗?同样重要的是,如果它被应用,对地球和全人类会产生什么后果? 从德克萨斯州的中心地带到海牙的荷兰皇宫,从喜马拉雅山的白雪皑皑到日晒雨淋的奇瓦瓦沙漠,这部小说汇集了来自不同文化和大陆的一群不同的人物,他们努力应对全球变暖的现实影响。《终结的冲击》(Termination Shock)在范围上是史诗性的,在角度上则是令人心碎的,它敲响了警钟,考虑了可怕的风险,并思考了潜在的解决方案。

It's kind of a nod to Jules Verne to have individuals rather than governments as protagonists as well as making a more interesting story.

I always enjoy Neil's books. But Termination Shock seems at times an elaboration on the cartoon series 'biker mice from mars' where environmental Martians fight with beings from Jupiter's earth, whom are trying to flush the atmosphere with sooth to destroy our planet's life.

Trying to pick carbon atoms out of vacuumed up air is not possible on the scale required. However, if you are interested in humanity surviving the coming Termination Shock in say 15y to 30y... I would check out MEER initiated by Dr Ye Tao. btw help jump starting it is welcomed :-)

Because if they don't intervene with CO2 levels, even if we stopped all emissions yesterday, without geoengineering you're going to die, your children are going to die everyone you ever loved, cared about or known is going to die. Maybe they will die in the famine if they're lucky, the unlucky will be the ones that survive the nuclear bombs after the desperation reaches an all-time high on the losing side of a country during the resource wars.

@@SpiritGirlSF high school drop out but, research for yourself, I've been doing it for over 20 years now and every day I learn about something terribly bleak like the hundreds of millions to billions of gallons oil sitting in sunken ships all across the world ready to cause an ecological catastrophe, the 441 nuclear reactors, spent fuel pools and dry cask above ground storages susceptible to climate change that could boil off the atmosphere, carbon fluorine chemical bonds that can't be broken down and are extremely hard to filter out of water that we drink everyday but, honestly I don't care if you disregard me most people do anyway.

@@aegaeon117 The powers that be have always been guiding society to this point in time, they are the ones who are responsible. Most ordinary humans went along with it all because what else were they do, we didn't know any better but the captains of industry and the elite must have. They need to be held to account but that will never happen, greed get in the way. Industrial revolution wasn't as good for humanity as most would like to think. btw~ How about graphene?
