I am really looking forward to seeing how this plays out. The solution is so nebulous, so hard to find.
All the scientists I meet are completely discombulated. They just feel like that they don’t know what to do.
They know that they find interested audiences but they don’t change audiences. 

The most interesting work that I have done recently is a paper I wrote about British Columbia and what they would need to do if they wanted to share the problem of carbon emissions equally.  What would be equitable so that we don’t expect Africa, for example, to take a hit on our behalf?

It turns out that British Columbia can continue to live the way that it does now for another ten years in which time it has used its century long allotment of carbon emissions to make it equal.

It is our daily routine that is the problem. That is why the work that I do is so hard to get traction.  Everything that we call ordinary has to change.  Everything from the way that your hot shower gets hot to the way that your food gets delivered and packaged. Every little daily activity has to be part of a grand redesign. It isn’t going to happen until people want it with their hearts.

So, we are all floundering around not knowing what to do so I commend you to be on the ‘how’ side of the question.
