Fast international travel will, at least temporarily, have to be for urgent or emergency purposes only. A triage approach is needed to ensure that the reallocation of society’s small carbon budget, its labour and resources, are used wisely to provide for a thriving society.

comment
- Kevin's use of the term triage is aligned to a Stop Reset Go strategy of reframing the challenges in the next few years in terms of a potentially temporary energy diet
- That may be more palatable for transition for people accustomed to the existing high carbon lifestyle culture to accept
- The potential of developing alternative energy resources plus a shift to low energy / high efficiency lifestyle could get us to the target and provide incentive for a drastic energy consumption cut

title: Overthrowing the Ruling Class: The Green Democratic Revolution
-
summary
- This is a very insightful interview with James Schneider, communications officer of Progressive International on the scales of political change required to advert our existential Poly / meta / meaning crisis.
- James sees 3 levels of crisis
- ordinary crisis emerging from a broken system
- larger wicked problems that cannot be solved in isolation
- the biggest umbrella crisis that covers all others - the last remaining decades of the fossil fuel system,
- due to peak oil but accelerated by
- climate crisis
- There has to be a paradigm shift on governance, as the ruling elites are driving humanity off the cliff edge
- This is not incremental change but a paradigm shift in governance
- To do that, we have to adopt an anti-regime perspective, that is not reinforcing the current infective administrative state, otherwise, as COVID taught us, we will end up driving the masses to adopt hard right politicians
- In order to establish the policies that are aligned to the science, the people and politicians have to be aligned.
- Voting in candidates who champion policies aligned to science is a leverage point.
- That can only be done if the citizenry is educated enough to vote for such politicians
- So there are two parallel tasks to be done:
- mass education program to educate citizens
- mass program to encourage candidates aligned to climate science to run for political office

one of the reasons 00:34:46 why we don't do it is that we think there needs to also be a sudden huge change inside but actually there doesn't need to be a sudden age change inside at all
- for: climate communications, crisis communications,
- one of the reasons why we don't do it is that
- we think there needs to also be a sudden huge change inside
- but actually there doesn't need to be a sudden age change inside at all
- that thing is funnily enough getting in the way
- An awful lot of people who write about ecological things in the newspaper are preventing you from being ecological
- I know that sounds a bit rude to my to my colleagues you know who write editorials for newspapers
- but it I'm afraid it's true because you know
- you look at page one of the newspaper and basically it says
- you're stupid right ?
- it gives you a whole bunch of facts that you didn't know
- in the form mostly of quite raw data
- it just sort of dumps the data on you which we don't do about
- anything else we don't do it about?
- we don't do it about racism
- we don't do it about economics
- we don't just dump data on on page one but we do do it regarding global warming and I think that's a bit of a problem
- then you go on to the middle of the newspaper and you get to the editorial section
- and the editorial section is saying
- you're evil
- you're a bad person
- you're not being ecological enough
- stupid and evil is not a good place from which to launch a successful politics or ethics or any kind of creativity
- what is creativity fundamentally?
- it's inviting the future
- creativity means you're allowing the future to be different from the past doesn't it?
- because you're creating something (new)
- that's what creating means
- and in order to do it successfully you actually have to be incredibly gentle
- one of the reasons why we don't do it is that
