I admire your effort to present a positive vision; it’s helpful to have a counterpoint to a vision of inevitable global catastrophe. However, human nature seems to require catastrophe for rapid change to occur. My fear is that the global crisis we face as the Earth heats up from CO2 is accelerating so fast that we are facing a collapse of modern society that will outpace any attempts to mitigate massive death across the planet. All of our 21st knowledge may be lost and humanity will face rebuilding from a hard reset.
