Thank you, Palmer, for your refreshing blend of accurate assessments of our global climate predicament, coupled with a wide array of plausible,well-researched recommendations. For myself, I tend to fluctuate between "doomer" and "dreamer" attitudes, (with the "doomer" gaining rapidly on the "dreamer" these days). But given the perennial problem of limited agency (i.e. how vanishingly little influence each of us has on the self-serving behavior of the rich and influential and their brainwashed consumers), I incline toward local rather than global solutions. These are summarized in a simple slogan I have coined: "Grow Gardens, Grow Community, and Grow Awareness." That is, we need to penetrate the alienation and paranoia that prevent us, at the local level, from getting to know and trust each other enough to help each other adapt, by growing our own food, taking care of our local ecosystems, learning permaculture and other survival skills, and so forth. See my own recent Medium article entitled "Suburban Alienation and the Promise of Garden Guilds."
