"Is climate change happening to you, or for you?"
450 ppm is not enough - we need to draw down
80 of 100 pieces on climate change are catastrophe oriented, 1-2 are about "delusional opportunity"
Drawdown isn't a plan or a proposal - it's a reflection back on ourselves
Giving facts to people about climate change doesn't change their beliefs
Have long wanted to put together the 100 things we need to do for climate change
If our story is "we're screwed" it absolutely destroys our innovation and creativity
If we collected 7.3 billion people together, it would require an extremely small area of land
It's not climate change, it's climate disruption
Land-use solutions are the big surprise
Met Amanda Joy Revenhill and decided to do the project
No list of solutions has ever been made
Project Drawdown - A compass and a toolkit for progress
Stoknes great book on the psychology of climate change
Talking about SLR in Miami in 2100 is irrelevant to our current thinking
The data are surprising - the solutions are not what you think
The problem is how we communicate - we've done really poorly
Thinking about solutions has come from white males - they always come up with BIG solutions
We measure the carbon and financial impact if the 100 solutions scaled over time
We need solar, wind, EVs, etc. but it's not enough
We need stories and narratives - it's the only thing that will make a difference
We're not screwed - there are lots of solutions
You shouldn't "believe" in climate change - the believe who "believe" are the deniers
