Adviser revised 13 June 2022. (Begun 19 December 2021)

<<return>> ---- !!!Building on and unwinding choices that you make in the Adviser The Adviser remembers many of the choices you make as you work through it. Options will also be built in to allow you to unwind past choices and to make new ones. There is also a 'nuclear' option to completely clear the Advisor memory - [[Memory wipe for users]]

<<include [[Start]]>>

<<fav>><<return>> ---- !!More about the Adviser !!!The Adviser will be improved with use The Adviser will be revised and expanded as we learn from the reactions of its users and from better understanding of the issues and maximum protection strategies. !!!Assisting with the development of the Adviser This project is looking for people to assist with the development of the content of the Adviser and the IT platform it is built on. See [[Work program for the Adviser]] for a list of current projects. If you are interested in any of these projects please [[contact Philip Sutton|Contact the Adviser team]]. !!!The Adviser version <<include [[Version input (2include)]]>>

(• The Adviser is updated daily, often multiple times, so it is recommended that you refresh the Adviser in your browser at the start of each session) (• Use 'SETTINGS' in the main menu on the left to set the display to 'Light' mode or to return it to 'Dark' mode.) (• Click on the star at the top of pages to register them in Favourites, then return later to the page via the Favourites menu option that will appear in the main menu.) ---- !!Getting started This Adviser [[(*)|More about the Adviser]] is being built by RSTI's Climate Rescue Catalytic Group and is in a very early stage of development, so please bear with us over the coming months as it is built up. Two of the key purposes of the Climate Rescue Adviser is to help people to (a) prepare their own climate action plan or (b) shape specific projects based on an integrated commitment to: *maximum protection[[|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]] for the climate vulnerable[[(*)|The climate vulnerable_PrinEtc]], tied together by a duty of care and a chain of responsibility[[(*)|Chain of Responsibility_PrinEtc]] *safe climate restoration[[(*)|Safe climate restoration_brief (2include) DB]] *taking action in support of and in the context of a 'whole system package' plan[[(*)|Whole system package_brief (2include) DB]] *emergency mode of action[[(*)|Emergency mode of action_brief (2include) DB]]. A third critical purpose of the Adviser is to guide RSTI's own work on the development of the Climate Rescue campaign. The Adviser has been designed to be responsive to the choices that you, the users, make as you work through it[[(*)|Building on and unwinding choices]]. The first public Adviser projects that have been activated are: [[An invitation to think about resetting your climate goals|An invitation to reset your climate goals]] [[The Climate Rescue Campaign Strategy|CR Strategy]] [[Assessing parties and candidates]] /% You can begin using the Adviser by choosing one of these options:     "Preparing a comprehensive climate action plan" //(This option is not yet ready to use.)//     [[Tackling a specific climate project|Starting with projects]] %/

<<fav>> | <<return>><<set $invitationToResetYourClimateGoalsShowInMenu to 1>> ---- !!An invitation to think about resetting your climate goals We often say "//we know what to do, we have all the needed solutions, we just need to get on with it, get on with reducing emissions//". This would have been close to being true in say 1970, two decades before the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was activated, but now, 3 decades after the UNFCCC came into operation, this is not true if we want to successfully protect the climate vulnerable. <<include [[Additional domains of action for earth system restoration (include) DB]]>> After we create a zero emissions economy these additional problems will be unwound by natural processes – but only //''over thousands of years''//. In the meantime the impact on the climate vulnerable will be devastating. With action made up of only emissions elimination, the global temperature will keep //''rising''// for the next 20 years passing through +1.5°C in about 2030. The poor do not have enough money to protect themselves by adaptation. The rich will spend more on adaptation for themselves as climate impacts increase but they are unlikely to devote enough money to protect the poor around the world and adaptation cannot provide adequate protection to non-human living things in almost any part of the world. If we want to protect the climate vulnerable we will have to do more than: *put a net zero emissions economy in place, and *adapt to the impacts of climate. We will need to take immediate action on the six additional problems listed above, at sufficient scale and speed, if this can be done safely enough. But the bulk of the climate movement around the world is not currently developing or advocating for goals and strategies to protect the climate vulnerable from the additional 6 problems identified above. If we do care about delivering timely and adequate protection for the climate vulnerable then maybe it’s time to consider resetting our goals? How can this happen? The first step is probably to begin a discussion about what the protection needs of the climate vulnerable are and therefore what our action goals should be, given where earth system conditions have got to by $thisYear and where conditions will go, by when, under effective and ineffective action scenarios. Would you or your group be interested in engaging in such an action-focussed discussion? If you are, please contact the [[Climate Rescue team|Contact the Climate Rescue team]]. And if you have the time, you can also explore the [[The Climate Rescue Campaign Strategy|CR Strategy]]. ---- <<fav>> | <<return>>

These declarations will be hollow unless these governments transition urgently into [[emergency action mode|Emergency action mode on climate_Def (2include)]] aimed to deliver [[maximum protection|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]]. This Adviser is being developed to assist Councillors, Members of Parliament, political party activists, Council staff, public servants, professionals and community activists to get their governments and communities into emergency action mode on the climate. At this moment in time, the Adviser is in the very earliest stage of development. It is intended that eventually the Adviser will help in three key areas (a) //''preparatory action''// for going into emergency mode, (b) //''switching''// into emergency mode, and (c) //''operating''// in emergency mode. Despite about 2000 governments declaring a climate emergency, no government that we know of is yet operating in emergency mode. So the work on this Adviser will focus in the first instance on the task of mapping out desirable //''preparatory action''// for going into [[emergency mode|Emergency action mode on climate_Def (2include)]]. In $thisYear at this early stage of the climate emergency action mobilisation in Australia and globally, it will be impossible for municipalities, state/province and national governments to get into emergency mode unless they take sufficient preparatory action. A practical first step for each stage of engagement with climate emergency action is to create an action checklist. This Adviser is being developed to assist you with this task.

Lenton, Carl Folke, Diana Liverman, Colin P. Summerhayes, Anthony D. Barnosky, Sarah E. Cornell, Michel Crucifix, Jonathan F. Donges, Ingo Fetzer, Steven J. Lade, Marten Scheffer, Ricarda Winkelmann, and Hans Joachim Schellnhuber !!!Abstract Abstract "We explore the risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued warming on a ''“Hothouse Earth”'' pathway even as human emissions are reduced. Crossing the threshold would lead to a much higher global average temperature than any interglacial in the past 1.2 million years and to sea levels significantly higher than at any time in the Holocene. We examine the evidence that such a threshold might exist and where it might be. If the threshold is crossed, the resulting trajectory would likely cause serious disruptions to ecosystems, society, and economies. Collective human action is required to steer the Earth System away from a potential threshold and stabilize it in a habitable interglacial-like state. Such action entails stewardship of the entire Earth System—biosphere, climate, and societies—and could include decarbonization of the global economy, enhancement of biosphere carbon sinks, behavioral changes, technological innovations, new governance arrangements, and transformed social values."

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] --- !!Stabilised climate, but hotter than now

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] --- !!20 years of research, decide, then 50% cooling David Keith and some other climate researchers with an interest in fast cooling have published arguments that: *it might be necessary to do further research on solar reflection methods and other methods such as cirrus cloud thinning and then make a deploy/not deploy decision; *at the point of deployment fast cooling methods might only be used to offset half the warming potential of greenhouse gases and other warming factors.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] --- !!Build global regulation first, then decide For many the right approach to solar reflection and related cooling methods is to first create a global governance regime to cover research, development and deployment and then decide what is to be permitted or not.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] ---- !!Early, full deployment if it can be made safe RSTI has been developing a scenario in which fast cooling methods, if they can be made safe, would be deployed as soon as possible in conjunction with vigorous programs to eliminate emissions and draw down the excess CO2 in the air. This scenario draws on the approach that competent governments applie to the development of vaccines and treatments during the covid pandemic - promote and regulate concurrently.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] --- !!Just do it Some think that going for global regulation first means that action on research, development and deployment will be slowed down massively, so it is better if someone (a government or a corporation or a billionaire) just jumps in and does it, and then all the governance details can be figured out and negotiated afterwards.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] ---- !!Maintain the taboo, no field research, no deployment A number of organisations (eg. ETC, Heinrich Boell Foundation, Geoengineering Monitor, Hands Off Mother Earth, Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement) are campaigning against field research on fast cooling (solar geoengineering) and against deployment. These organisations have been leaders in creating a strong taboo against any serious consideration of fast cooling. It is likely that the demand that no field research is based on not only a fear of creating a slippery slope to deployment, but also because in the absence of any research data based on field research it will always be rational to say that deployment should not be contemplated because we know too little about how the earth would actually respond.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] --- !!The 'break glass' scenario At last the move to shift the economy to zero emissions is gathering pace, but despite this we are about to surge past the Paris +1.5°C 'goal' (by about 2030). With more effort on zero emissions and a large amount of CO2 drawdown the global temperature might peak between +2°C and +3°C. The environmental conditions at such temperatures will be unbearable, and there is also a very serious risk that the earth system might be tripped into a new stable much higher temperature - a [["hothouse earth"|Hothouse earth_GScenario]] state. So, as the climate conditions deteriorate, at some stage some powerful forces might decide that it is time to "break the glass" and add fast cooling methods[[(*)|Fast cooling methods_Def (get)]] to the climate action tool kit. At that point it would be wise to have a strong science research base and knowledge of deployment technology so that seriously ignorant decisions are not made.

<<fav>> | <<return>> | [[Global Scenarios]] ---- !!With SRM there is less need to cut emissions & do CO2 drawdown It has been a long running fear of people working on climate action that emissions intensive industries and other cost sensitive interests would want to promote fast cooling instead of tackling the causes of climate problems eg. emissions elimination and drawing down the excess CO2 from the air - because solar reflection methods etc. are very cheap to deploy and very fast.

The gaps in the Fusion policy are: *the lack of a clear anchor on protecting specific classes of the climate vulnerable (humans, other living things,) leaving the policy without clear conditions to be restored in time. *the policy holes arising because the needed end state and timing has not been clarified. These two extracts from the Fusion policy are not correct: "Transitioning to negative emissions only requires demonstration that the technology is available, economical, and reliable." >Negative emissions technologies that are "available, economical, and reliable" cannot be scaled up as far as necessary without conflicting seriously with biodiversity protection and food production and may be very vulnerable to rising temperatures. Some of the drawdown technologies that might be needed are very immature and may never be fully self-funding. "Beginning the path to zero emissions in 10 years will ensure that we are well-placed to minimise global warming" >[[Breakthrough research|http://www.breakthroughonline.org.au]] - especially the paper Climate Reality Check 2021 show that zero emissions alone will not stop the upward trajectory of the global temerature for about 20 years. !!!Response to the checklist questions <table> <tr> <td class="borderless">Q1:</td> <td class="borderless">Has the election policy been framed to protect any clearly identified climate vulnerable[[(*)|The climate vulnerable_brief (2include) DB]]?</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="borderless"></td> <td class="borderless">The policy hints at this somewhat vaguely saying that climate poses a "threat to our survival".

(<a href="#Scenarios">There are other scenarios below</a>) RSTI's preferred scenario implies a much faster intiation of trial deployments than is usually contemplated - if that can be done safely. Such a scenario would only be viable if the approach can earn the social licence for serious consideration of and near-term action on SRM - making this one of the critical requirements for the approach. *The Climate Rescue campaign will work across the political spectrum but sees it as one of its key challenges to get the 'left' to give serious consideration to SRM. *The campaign host, RSTI, has been working with the Australian National Centre for Climate Restoration/Breakthrough since 2014 to get SRM on the climate movement agenda [[(Climate Reality Check 2021, p.46-47)|https://www.climaterealitycheck.net]], plus RSTI worked with partners within the peak climate campaign network in Australia, CANA, to set up a Geoengineering Discussion Group to begin a deliberative democracy program within the network. This work has led to the view that the best way to build the social licence is to focus on what needs to be done to protect the near-term climate vulnerable. This approach has led to getting some philanthropic funding [[(Climate Emergency Fund|https://www.climateemergencyfund.org]] and the opening up of conversations with activists and environmentally active political party officials. *A condition of funding is that the Climate Rescue campaign engages internationally. *The Climate Rescue campaign is considering developing and campaigning for model legislation to provide a platform for driving and managing a SRM program at the state/province level first. Based on the work that RSTI has done to initiate and promote the global Climate Emergency Declaration campaign, it is considered more likely that state/province-level legislation will be adopted more easily initially at that level rather than pitching straight to national governments (except where the national conditions are clearly favourable). !!!!Potential activities for XPRIZE *I think that current thinking on the ways that SRM might be pursued are too limited.

So in relation to fast cooling that, for them, was the end of the matter. *I think we need to find in the literature, or develop, plausible scenarios for pursing fast cooling in ways that have a minimal chance of triggering war. *Since it's not yet known that fast cooling methods can deliver a clear net benefit if applied globally (because of the limited research foundation,) I think we should develop a scenario that delivers the maximum protection ''without'' using fast cooling. But we need to have data on the difference in the delivered protection between an optimal scenario with fast cooling and the best possible scenario without fast cooling. *In the early stages at least of developing the XPRIZE SRM project I think it would help everyone if a few SRM action scenarios were developed so that the differences in approaches can be made explicit and the consequences of different approaches can be explored. <a href="#top">Go to top</a> ---- !!!Climate vulnerability case studies<a id="Climate vulnerability case studies"></a> [[Pacific atoll islands case study: What would need to be done, at the earth system level, to save the Pacific atoll islands?|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nxe9uoP0Gle6qjjSyzUoNTWoZwqEMfYCtZuTwOld3J8/edit?usp=sharing]] <a href="#top">Go to top</a> ---- !!!Developing a fast cooling program - initial notes<a id="Developing a fast cooling program"></a> As we clean up the energy system by switching to renewables, the accidental SRM that we get from the particulate pollution from coal fired power stations is no longer produced. This means that for about the next 20 years we don't get any immediate benefit from going to zero emissions. The upwards temperature trajectory continues for those 20 years, essentially unchanged, regardless of how much emissions are cut. The temperature benefit comes after the 20 years. We can see that the current level of warming is now extremely dangerous. It's destroying the global coral reef ecosystems, triggering self-generating ice loss from Greenland and the Antarctic (especially the West Antarctic) that will eventually cause probably over six metres of sea level rise (unless the earth is cooled rapidly). The Arctic sea ice is massively reduced in summer. Fires, floods and storms are causing very serious impacts already. The permafrost is melting on a large-scale. Emissions-elimination-only action will not change the //''upwards''// trajectory of warming for about 20 years[[(*)|Emissions only action will not stop warming trend for 20y_brief (2include) DB]]. And in this context the average earth temperature is likely to reach +1.5°C by about 2030[[(*)|Likely to reach +1.5°C by about 2030_brief (2include) DB]] Simply getting to zero emissions (which must be done) will not result in the needed //''cooling''// for many thousands of years. CO2 drawdown (which must be done, on a massive scale) will take probably a few hundred years to provide the needed cooling. But we know that SRM could cool the earth surface temperature extremely fast (within a year or two of first deployment) and at the necessary scale. But we don't know whether it's possible to design SRM systems to deliver this cooling without very serious side effects. In the climate movement there is a very powerful taboo against considering SRM and doing the necessary research. Because of social inertia and this powerful taboo, the global climate movement has not sufficiently up dated its thinking on the nature of the climate problem over the last 30 years. We now have more than a problem of emissions. We also have too much CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the air and too much heat in the oceans already. The Climate Rescue campaign is premised on the idea of identifying the climate vulnerable (people, other living things, etc.), finding out what earth system and local conditions are needed for them to be protected, and then providing the needed protection as fast as needed. We've started to refer to this approach as providing "maximum protection[[(*)|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]] for the climate vulnerable". I think that this tight connection to caring about the climate vulnerable can provide the intense motivation needed to drive the necessary multi-lever climate action program, including overcoming the social taboo on SRM. It has been interesting to see how competent governments handled the challenge of developing vaccines and treatment in response to the covid pandemic. The medical profession knows from long experience that not all candidate vaccines and treatments are safe enough to use. So, during the covid pandemic, competent governments used a simultaneous approach of proactively promoting the fast development, testing and deployment of vaccines and treatments while also maintaining the regulatory system to identify and block the use of ineffective and unsafe options. To save time, and therefore lives, some governments contracted for the manufacture of millions of doses of vaccines before the vaccines had been approved by the regulatory system. The deal was that the governments would pay even if the vaccines were not approved. If they failed to get regulatory approval the doses would be sent to landfill. But if they were given the thumbs up then jabs would be in arms many, many months earlier than would normally be the case. The current taboo on considering SRM has some similarities to the antivax mindset. I've been thinking quite a bit about how an SRM program might be run. It is likely that it will need to go through an extended experimental stage, starting small and local, and then building up to global - but still in experimental mode. It's interesting to see how the climate movement social taboo on SRM has rubbed off on the SRM researchers. People like David Keith argue publicly that SRM research will need to go on for about ''20 more years'' before a yes/no deployment decision can be made and then SRM should only be used to offset about a half of the near term warming. While it might turn out that we can't use SRM safely at the needed scale, should it turn out to be safe enough to use, waiting another 20 years and only offsetting half the warming, seems to me like too little, too late. I think we might be able to get very near-term global benefit from SRM during the experimental phase. (We already know that cooling can be delivered by SRM. What we don't know is what the side effects are when applied at large-scale.) So a graduated experimental scaling up of a range of SRM technologies and deployment systems would resolve the scientific uncertainties and provide near term cooling. If there are indications of unacceptable side effects that cannot be avoided then we might have to conclude that SRM is not a practical option and turn off deployment. Whichever way things go, we know that the need to use SRM can be reduced the faster the world gets to a zero emissions economy and the sooner we draw down all the excess CO2. I think that there are (at least) three serious complicating factors: *it would likely be impossible to initiate a global SRM program if a full (non-blocked) consensus is required via the international governance system. On the other hand if a single powerful country goes it alone without an effort to maximise the size of a coalition of the willing then international tensions might be seriously worsened at a time that is already getting very dangerous. *polarisation between the political left and right. There is a risk that climate activists (often left leaning) will continue their taboo on SRM research and experimental deployment, and they might choose to characterise support for SRM as the work of right wing people. I think it is likely that the success of a SRM program (socially and politically stable over time as governments change) will rest on reducing the left-right polarisation around the issue. *The successful global deployment of experimental SRM could get complicated by tension with Russia because it appears that Putin thinks that Russia will gain comparative advantage from having a warming world. <a href="#top">Go to top</a>

The next step could be to see how an organisation with that DNA could perhaps engage with a "protect the climate vulnerable" approach. These two steps could be followed up with: *further work with the CEO *further work with a 'climate rescue' exploration team *a briefing and workshop for the group's staff (and board members?) on how the climate rescue approach might be incorporated. *[[Working with EV]]

However, human-caused climate change is not an issue that humanity has had the experience of solving before so we have muddled our way //extremely slowly// into taking action. One of the factors contributing to the inadequate response has been the economic and political power of high emissions industries which has been very strong for a very long time– though this is beginning to change with the emergence of cost-competitive renewable energy. By now the immediate impacts of climate change have become extremely and unacceptably serious, with a great deal worse to come unless highly effective action is taken with extreme urgency. The culture of normal politics, eg. gradualism and an expectation of major trade-offs, has meant that mainstream climate activism and mainstream government climate action has not set out to //''undo''// the change to the climate at all, let alone fast. In fact, the current official UN target established by the Paris Agreement is to //''increase''// the temperature above even where we are now and then to lock that increase in permanently. This normal politics mind-set skews how society thinks about climate action, leading to: *a major under-estimation of the costs of climate change and a major over-estimation of the cost of near-term action to undo climate change. This mismatch is also reinforced by information asymmetries and by the formal processes of future discounting in the finance sector and in mainstream economic theory *the development of a huge gap between what needs to be done to successfully protect the climate vulnerable and the actions actually being pursued by almost all climate advocates and policy makers. The official objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is: <<include [[UNFCCC Article 2-Objective_brief (2include) DB]]>> This objective doesn’t define what dangerous means. Dangerous for whom or what? The only things mentioned specifically that need to be protected are ecosystems, food production and economic development. These are systems, not climate vulnerable people or other living things. It would be possible to meet the UNFCCC objective while the climate vulnerable suffer terrible losses – provided ecosystems are adapting (don’t they always adapt in the face of change?), and aggregate food production is maintained and economic development continues. Given the massive wriggle room in the UNFCCC objective, the implicit aim of current mainstream action on climate is to “reduce” the impact of climate compared to what it would be with no action. But it is quite unclear what “good enough” action is. Locking in a higher temperature and ocean acidification than now, under the goals of the Paris Agreement, will cause major ecosystem breakdowns on land and in the oceans. Extreme weather, desertification and sea level rise will reduce the liveability of large areas leading to lowered living standards, higher death rates and greater movement of climate refugees. Richer countries and communities will have greater capacity for local adaptation (but, as impacts from climate change build up, they are likely to be less willing to financially assist poorer countries to adapt) – leading to a kind of [[Dubai-ification of the world|Dubai-ification of the world_PrinEtc]]. ---- <<fav>> | <<return>> | [["CR Strategy" table of contents|Table of contents_CR Strategy]] | [[Next» The response|Table of contents_The Response]]

To protect the climate vulnerable, we will need to: *restore a safe climate and ocean pH (alkalinity) as fast as possible to within the Holocene range *provide 'safe passage' for the climate vulnerable so that they can survive long enough to benefit from a restored safe climate and ocean alkalinity. These high level actions need to be calibrated by the needs of the climate vulnerable. But it is only possible to meet the needs of the climate vulnerable if we deliberately and rigorously find out what those needs are to ensure that the climate vulnerable can survive and thrive.

It is generally assumed that the climate might be brought back to +1.5°C by the end of the century *The climate emergency (as a problem) is widely recognised by governments, and fast action is called for but so far no governments have gone into emergency action mode to tackle climate *As climate impacts get worse, increasing attention and effort is being applied to adaptation measures to reduce the near-term of impact (mostly on people). !!!How adequate is the conventional approach to climate action for the protection of the climate vulnerable? *Current action (ie. emissions reduction only) on climate impacts cannot provide any earth system level temperature relief for about 20 years[[(*)|Emissions only action will not stop warming trend for 20y_brief (2include) DB]]. *Meeting the Paris goals cannot save, amongst a lot of other things, the world's coral reef systems systems or the atoll islands and nations, or prevent about 15 to 20 metres of sea level rise. (Note: Better goals, if attained, might prevent these outcomes.) *The adequacy of the conventional climate action package is not well known for the protection of most classes of the climate vulnerable either because the assessments have not been done or because the results of those assessments are not known by people pushing for or implementimng climate policy. ---- <<fav>> | <<return>> | [["The Response" table of contents|Table of contents_The Response]] | [[«Previous|Most effective way to deliver protection-globally]] | here | [[Next»Designing a climate rescue campaign|Table of contents_Designing a climate rescue campaign]]

Because of the charitable status of the grant, the funds cannot be used to promote (or oppose) specific legislation. So the RSTI Climate Rescue campaign will need to be partitioned into a sub-campaign that can use the CEF grant, and one or more sub-campaigns that can promote specific legislation without using CEF funds. Strategic analysis has identified three Climate Rescue sub-campaigns that should be pursued simultaneously. !!!The three sub-campaigns !!!!Protect the Climate Vulnerable campaign This is a campaign to change the global culture of climate action so it is based on actually delivering maximum protection[[|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]] for the climate vulnerable[[(*)|The climate vulnerable_PrinEtc]] – including those at risk over the next 20 years. Essential information to support the campaign and government implementation includes the identification of the climate vulnerable around the world, what their protection needs are and how the protection can be delivered fast enough. (This is the sub-campaign that is supported by the Climate Emergency Fund.) !!!!Fast Climate Cooling campaign This is a global campaign to accelerate the deployment of fast cooling methods, if, and only if, there are methods that can be used safely and effectively. It will be crucial to scale up research (computer-based, in the laboratory and in the field) at emergency speed. Deployment methods need to be developed urgently in parallel in case safe fast cooling methods become available. But regulatory processes need to be put in place, like in the health system, to weed out methods that are not safe and effective. !!!!Delivering Climate Rescue campaign This is a campaign to build up the high-speed global delivery of a full climate rescue program (package of actions) by governments operating in emergency mode. The first priorities are to demonstrate in a few jurisdictions that the climate movement can adopt a climate rescue approach and that governments can take on emergency mode to deliver maximum protection for the climate vulnerable. Once proof-of-concept cases are available the campaign will then aim to spread this mode of action globally through all levels of government and society-wide. !!!The Climate Rescue campaigning flywheel The sub-campaigning dynamics for the Climate Rescue campaign can be summarised in the Climate Rescue Campaign flywheel[[|https://www.jimcollins.com/books/turning-the-flywheel.html]]: <center><IMG SRC="http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/graphics/CR-campaign-flywheel_50pc.png"></center> ---- <<fav>> | <<return>> | [["Setting up the Climate Rescue campaign" table of contents|Table of contents_Setting up the Climate Rescue campaign]] | [[«Previous|The CR planning flywheel]] | here | [[Next»Support units|Support units]]

The purpose of this campaign is to change the global culture of climate action so it is based on actually delivering maximum protection for the climate vulnerable – including those at risk over the next 20 years. (See the appendix for a scoping of what the term “climate vulnerable” could cover.) The PCV campaign has a number of important functions to perform, that is, to: *tap into strong //''motivation''// (ethical and enlightened self-interest) *drive a goal and action //''paradigm shift''// (moving from Paris goals to maximum protection for the climate vulnerable) *provide //''education''// and //''advocacy''// about how to protect all people and other living things from human-caused climate change including the vulnerable *drive the fastest possible global //''mobilisation''// (to maximise capacity, to inspire confidence that a global issue can be tackled, and to speed the emergence of a new consensus around providing maximum protection) *foster //''deliberation''// about the ethics, other motivations and practicalities of providing maximum protection compared to other possible responses. The Climate Rescue Catalyst Group needs to form a PCV campaign working group to work with the country groups and the research groups to get the PCV campaign going as fast as possible in every country. There are a number of information outputs from the PCV campaign that need to be produced as soon as possible: *An initial proof-of-concept “//Protect the Pacific Atoll Islands//” paper with stand-alone advice on how to write more case studies. *A “//Systematic protection: Duty of care and chain of responsibility//” paper. *A first public version of a “//Protect the Climate Vulnerable campaign strategy//” *Lists of the climate vulnerable (global and by country). *Single-case reports on the climate vulnerable. *A first public version of a “//Protect the Climate Vulnerable Report//” that outlines how the climate vulnerable can be protected. As more work is done on different cases of the climate vulnerable, the results will be consolidated into the “//Protect the Climate Vulnerable Report//”. <center><IMG SRC="http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/graphics/Mapping-a-suite-of-information-products-on-climate-vulnerability.png"></center> The scope of research to support the PCV campaign includes: *sources of expertise *what different cohorts of people already want to protect *the climate vulnerable around the world (eg. people, other living things and ecosystems, and critical earth system elements are threatened by climate change) *the threats to the climate vulnerable from climate (and related phenomena such as ocean CO2 acidification) *what the protection needs of the climate vulnerable are (eg. earth system and other interventions to restore safe climate conditions in ways that are effective and safe for people and life generally) *how the protection can be delivered fast enough with high certainty. A key role for the PCV campaign will be to draw together groups who are dedicated to the protection of the climate vulnerable and groups that have traditionally focussed on climate action – with the linkage being a commitment to providing maximum protection. <center><IMG SRC="http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/graphics/PCV-max-protection-climate-action.png"></center> Early projects to get the campaign going could include: *Creating a cascade of projects where volunteer teams can identify and document: **the climate vulnerable relevant to their community **what needs to be done, by when, to protect each class of the climate vulnerable. *Creating a cascade of projects where volunteer teams can campaign to protect the climate vulnerable. !!!The contributions from the FCC and the DCR campaigns The Fast Climate Cooling (FCC) campaign will contribute to climate movement understanding of the potential contribution that fast cooling methods might be able to make to protecting the climate vulnerable, provided the fast cooling methods can be made safe enough.

The campaign’s action focuses are to: *foster open discussion and deliberation in the climate movement and society at large *foster learning from occupational health and safety and pandemic disease management *drive the adoption of bottom-up legislation to provide a governance framework for expanded research (including in the field) and near-term deployment on an experimental basis if it is safe enough. *foster urgent research, assessment and deployment of fast cooling methods and other safe climate and ocean interventions if they are safe enough.

The kick off project will be the production of a paper that draws lessons from the management of the covid19 pandemic for how the need for fast cooling should be handled. !!!The contributions from the PCV and the DCR campaigns The Protect the Climate Vulnerable (PCV) campaign will make it clear why the protection of the climate vulnerable would benefit from the application of fast cooling methods (if they were safe enough). The Delivering Climate Rescue (DCR) campaign will show how fast cooling can be deployed fast if it is shown to be safe enough. The PCV campaign will also accelerate engagement in every country globally. ---- <<fav>> | <<return>> | [["Initiating action" table of contents|Table of contents_Initiating action]] | [[«Previous|Sub-campaign 1_Protect the Climate Vulnerable]] | here | [[Next»Sub-campaign 3: Delivering Climate Rescue|Sub-campaign 3_Delivering Climate Rescue]]

The first step will be to create model climate emergency plans based on the climate rescue approach that can be adopted by: *climate movement groups engaging their jurisdiction governments *jurisdiction governments. This model plan development process will start with a model plan for climate movement groups targeting local councils. Once the first model plan is available, the Delivering Climate Rescue sub-campaign will search to find the best locations in the world to create specific campaign breakthroughs (to provide proof-of-concept demonstrations) ie: *locations with the highest chance of getting close to all climate activists to pursue an emergency-mode action campaign. *locations with the highest chance of adopting “//No more bad investment//” legislation[[|https://www.cedamia.org/no-more-bad-investments/]]. *locations/jurisdiction with the highest chance of getting the area government to adopt an emergency mode program to deliver maximum protection for the climate vulnerable. The highest chance of finding such locations will probably be in the 2000 or so areas that have adopted “climate emergency declarations” since 2016. Careful analysis needs to be done to work out why the 2016=> climate emergency declaration campaign failed to establish a maximum protection approach anywhere in the world, including in Darebin City Council (which was the first government in the world to acknowledge the climate emergency). The Delivering Climate Rescue campaign will then advocate for the maximum protection goal to supersede the Paris goals and for a version of very fast, large scale emergency action capable of achieving the maximum protection goal. Once the proof-of-concept approaches have been adopted by one or a few communities or jurisdictions, the aim of the Delivering Climate Rescue campaign will be to propagate the adoption of the most appropriate model in each jurisdiction world-wide. Campaign success will require the engagement of. • the community at large • the climate movement • political parties and political independents • governments (elected members, public servants) • civil society, media educators and researchers • business. The roles of businesses in fostering the transition of governments into climate emergency action mode is likely to be multifaceted: eg. *making management systems and related skills honed in businesses available to the effort to get government to get into emergency action mode on climate and to succeed in implementing large scale and complex climate emergency programs drawing, for example, on: **occupational health and safety programs **complex program management **systems architecting and systems engineering **pathfinding (path-creating) skills **strategy development and deployment **business ecosystem development / platform management. *building a business alliance that throws its support behind governments going into emergency action mode on climate *creating the goods and services needed to enable the restoration and maintenance of a safe climate society. The Delivering Climate Rescue sub-campaign could engage business in this way by reaching out to: *practicing companies of sufficient scale or complexity or innovation orientation to have the necessary systems and skills *consulting firms and consultants *professionals *researchers and educators. !!!Integrated Climate Rescue campaigning/action & the “2 action focuses” strategy To actually protect the climate vulnerable and restore a safe climate requires a huge array of actions to be taken on a large scale and with great urgency and in a coordinated and integrated way. With so much to be done so fast, people feel an overwhelming urge to concentrate their efforts and to simplify action.. But the risk is that people then lose track of the totality of what should be achieved (and so the program as a whole cannot succeed). One way to prevent this problem is to make sure that everyone, at all stages and levels of the campaign / action program promote the integrated program as a single demand or project in its own right. With our climate action culture as it now is, it might seem reasonable for powerful people at the top of national and perhaps state/province hierarchies to have to have a personal sense of responsibility for the integrated program. But people further down the hierarchy and the general public do not expect that they need to think this way. But commitment to building and implementing a full climate emergency program is not embedded in society yet. And this commitment will have to be built up substantially from the lower levels of government first. So somehow we will have to find a way to build the culture up from the base. Since the vast majority of people in all countries have a strong sense that it is “someone else who should have their mind around the whole job of solving the climate problem, maybe the best way to change the culture would be to promote the idea that each person acting on climate should take on two (or just a few) contributions, and that always one of those two (or a few) tasks is to directly and consciously promote the adoption of the whole package by society. This means that it needs to be an urgent priority for the Climate Rescue campaign to develop a methodology for promoting the integrated full package. <<include [[Targets to take on the 2 actions focuses approach table (2include) DB]]>> !!!The contributions from the PCV and the FCC campaigns The Protect the Climate Vulnerable (PCV) and the Fast Climate Cooling (FCC) campaigns will make it clear what climate actions need to be delivered by governments and society at large when in emergency mode. The PCV campaign will also accelerate engagement in every country globally. ---- <<fav>> | <<return>> | [["Initiating action" table of contents|Table of contents_Initiating action]] | [[«Previous|Sub-campaign 2_Fast Climate Cooling]] | here | [[Next»Population cohort recruitment and campaigning|Population cohort recruitment and campaigning]]

[[Challenges & issues]] | <<fav>> !!The overview challenge (Challenge) Humanity has been aware of the possibility of human caused climate change for over 100 years[[(*)|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svante_Arrhenius#Greenhouse_effect]] and the seriousness of the issue has been formally recognised by governments since the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change came into effect in 1994[[(*)|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change]]. However, human-caused climate change is not an issue that humanity has had the experience of solving before so we have muddled our way extremely slowly into taking action. One of the factors contributing to the inadequate response has been the economic and political power of high emissions industries which has been very strong for a very long time– though this is beginning to change with the emergence of cost-competitive renewable energy. By now the immediate impacts of climate change have become extremely and unacceptably serious, with a great deal worse to come unless highly effective action is taken with extreme urgency. The culture of normal politics, eg. gradualism and an expectation of major trade-offs, has meant that mainstream climate activism and mainstream government climate action has not set out to ''//undo//'' the change to the climate at all, let alone fast. In fact, the current official UN target established by the Paris Agreement is to ''//increase//'' the temperature above even where we are now and then to lock that increase in permanently. This normal politics mind-set skews how society thinks about climate action, leading to: *to a major under-estimation of the costs of climate change and a major over-estimation of the cost of near-term action to undo climate change. This mismatch is also reinforced by information asymmetries and by the formal processes of future discounting in the finance sector and in mainstream economic theory *the development of a huge gap between what needs to be done to successfully protect the climate vulnerable and the actions actually being pursued by almost all climate advocates and policy makers. The official objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is: <<include [[UNFCCC Article 2-Objective_brief (2include) DB]]>> This objective doesn’t define what dangerous means. Dangerous for whom or what? The only things mentioned specifically that need to be protected are ecosystems, food production and economic development. These are systems, not climate vulnerable people or other living things. It would be possible to meet the UNFCCC objective while the climate vulnerable suffer terrible losses – provided ecosystems are adapting (don’t they always adapt in the face of change?), and aggregate food production is maintained and economic development continues. Given the massive wriggle room in the UNFCCC objective, the implicit aim of current mainstream action on climate is to “reduce” the impact of climate compared to what it would be with no action. But it is quite unclear what “good enough” action is. Locking in a higher temperature and ocean acidification than now, under the goals of the Paris Agreement, will cause major ecosystem breakdowns on land and in the oceans. Extreme weather, desertification and sea level rise will reduce the liveability of large areas leading to lowered living standards, higher death rates and greater movement of climate refugees. Richer countries will have greater capacity for local adaptation (but a reduced willingness to pay for poorer countries to adapt as pressure from climate change builds up) – leading to a kind of [[Dubai|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai]]-ification of the world. <<return>>

*Appreciate the risks and stressors faced by the community; *Be respectful of and sensitive to the culture and diversity of the community; *Support those who may be facing vulnerability; *Recognise the importance of the environment to people and to their recovery; *Acknowledge the need for a long term, sustained effort as needed by the community; and *Acknowledge that the community impact of an emergency may extend beyond the geographical boundaries where the disaster occurred. //Recognising complexity:// *Emergecny events lead to a range of effects and impacts that require a variety of approaches; they can also leave long-term legacies; *Information on impacts is limited at first and changes over time; *Affected individuals and the community have diverse needs, wants and expectations, which can evolve rapidly; *Responsive and flexible action is crucial to address immediate needs; *Existing community knowledge and values may challenge the assumptions of those outside of the community; *Conflicting knowledge, values and priorities among individuals, the community and organisations may create tensions; *Emergencies create stressful environments where grief or blame may also affect those involved; and *Over time, appropriate support for individuals and communities, from within and outside, can cultivate hope and individual and collective growth. //Using local, community-led approaches:// *Assist and enable individuals, families and the community to actively participate in their own recovery; *Recognise that individuals and the community may need different levels of support at various times; *Be guided by the communities priorities; *Channel effort through pre-identified and existing community assets, including local knowledge, existing community strengths and resilience; *Build collaborative partnerships between the community and those involved in the recovery process; *Recognise that new community leaders often emerge during and after a disaster, who may not hold formal positions of authority; and Recognise that different communities may choose different paths to recovery. //Ensuring coordination of all activities:// *Have clearly articulated and shared goals based on desired outcomes; *Be flexible, taking into account changes in community needs or stakeholder expectations. *Be guided by those with experience and expertise, using skilled, authentic and capable community leadership; *Operate at the pace desired by the community, and seek to collaborate and reconcile different interests and time frames; *Reflect well-developed community planning and information gathering before, during and after a disaster; *Have clear decision-making and reporting structures and sound governance, which are transparent and accessible to the community; *Demonstrate an understanding of the roles, responsibilities and authority of organisations involved and coordinate across agencies to ensure minimal service provision disruption; *Be part of an emergency management approach that integrates with response operations and contributes to future prevention and preparedness; and *Be inclusive, availing of and building upon relationships created before, during and after the emergency. //Employing effective communication:// *Recognise that communication should be two way, and that input and feedback should be encouraged; *Ensure that information is accessible to audiences in diverse situations, addresses a variety of communication needs, and is provided through a range of communication channels and networks; *Establish mechanisms for coordinated and consistent communications between all service providers, organisations and individuals and the community; *Ensure that all communication is relevant, timely, clear, accurate, targeted, credible and consistent; and *Identify trusted sources of information and repeat key recovery messages to enable greater community confidence and receptivity. *Acknowledging and building capacity: *Assess capability and capacity requirements before, during and after a disaster; *Support the development of self-reliance, preparation and disaster mitigation; *Quickly identify and mobilise community skills, strengths and resources; *Develop networks and partnerships to strengthen capacity, capability and resilience; *Provide opportunities to share, transfer and develop knowledge, skills and training; *Recognise that resources can be provided by a range of partners and from community networks; *Acknowledge that existing resources may be stretched, and that additional resources may be sought; *Understand that additional resources may only be available for a limited period, and that sustainability may need to be addressed; *Understand when and how to step back, while continuing to support individuals and the community as a whole to be more self-sufficient when they are ready; and *Be evaluated to provide learning for future disaster and improved resilience.

It can be adapted to apply to a wide variety of emegencies, for example: <<include [[Emergency types (2include)]]>> Here is an elaboration of the four elements of the PPRR framework: <<include [[Emergency Management_With defs (Framework) (2include)]]>> <<return>> | [[«previous|Frameworks]] | [[Emergency index|Emergency (Index)]]

• Preparedness • Prevention • Response • Recovery

How does emergency mode fit into the scheme of things? Functioning societies have three broad modes of operation: (a) business-as-usual (b) reform-as-usual to generate a long term shift in priorities (c) emergency mode applied on a temporary basis. Emergency mode is the approach used when society faces a very serious threat and a very limited timeframe for effective action. The core features of the emergency approach are: (a) a major temporary shift in priorities, and (b) the intense mobilisation of effort and resources around the pursuit of the new priorities. The precise form that emergency mode takes has to be customised for each type of threat. Unprecedented threats create a need for a new form of emergency mode.

• Natural disasters: fire, storm, flood, drought, earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, cosmic ray storm, etc.) • Energy supply failure • Economic crisis (recession/depression/trade embargo, tarrif war, etc.) • Security emergency (internal/external/terrorism/war) • Pandemic / Failure of antibiotics - applying to humans or food species • Environmental emergency (climate change, exological breakdown, oil or chemical spill, chemical plant explosion, nuclear plant breakdown)

''Preparedness:'' Coordinated action is essential when preparing for a long running or epidodic emergency. This includes the development of plans or arrangements based on risk assessments and spans the full spectrum of emergency management: prevention, response and recovery. Emergency management preparedness involves a continuous cycle of risk management, planning, coordinating, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking corrective action to ensure the effective coordination and response during emergency events. Planning must occur both on an ongoing basis and during emergency events. Effective emergency management planning for all risks/threats is a key element of being prepared. Emergency management planning establishes community networks and arrangements to reduce risks related to emergency response and recovery. Emergency management plans allow all emergency management stakeholders to understand their roles, responsibilities, capability and capacity when responding to an event. Key considerations for emergency management planning are to ensure: • understanding of hazard/threat exposures, vulnerabilities and triggers • community awareness, education, engagement, information and warnings • collaboration • information sharing • interoperability and capability development.

''Prevention:'' Preventative measures reduce the likelihood of a disastrous conditions or disaster events occurring or the severity of such a condition or event should it eventuate. Prevention involves measures to ensure that disastrous conditions or disaster events: • are fully prevented, or • are made less frequent or of lower intensity (mitigation), or • have less impact on the vulnerable if they occur (adaptation).

''Recovery'' The need for recovery may arise from a range of emergency events, including natural and non-natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, bushfires, acts of terrorism and major health emergencies, as well as animal and plant diseases. Community recovery from disasters can be a complex and often lengthy process, with different communities recovering at different rates. The best outcomes for human communities are achieved by ensuring recovery strategies align with community need and are led by affected communities, with support from governments. This requires a collaborative, coordinated, adaptable and scalable approach where the responsibility for emergency recovery is shared among all sectors of the community including individuals, families, community groups, businesses and all levels of government. A community-led approach supports the rapid restoration of services essential to human wellbeing and presents an opportunity to build resilience and improve community circumstances and preparedness beyond their pre-disaster status. The restoration of ecological communities or processes may need different management processes. For more detail go to: [[Detail_Recovery_Emergency Management]]

''Response'' Emergency response involves taking appropriate measures to respond to an event, including action taken and measures planned in anticipation of, during, and immediately after an event to ensure that its effects are minimised and that persons affected by the event are given immediate relief and support. The aim of response operations is to save lives, protect property and make an affected area safe. Accordingly, response is the operationalisation and implementation of plans and processes, and the organisation of activities to respond to an event and its aftermath.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 15. Analysis and synthesis It is common knowledge that a ''problem'' needs to be ''analysed'' (i.e. taken apart) in order to be understood. What is frequently not recognised is that the development of a ''solution'' requires a process of ''synthesis'' (i.e. integration or bringing together). While this might sound rather obvious, people often are not aware that effective problem solving requires a two phase iterative, or repeated, process involving first analysis and then synthesis. You begin with the analysis of the existing system. All the relevant sub-elements are identified, especially those which appear to require changing or might be affected by proposed changes. Then, swinging into the synthesis process, you recombine or cluster the changed and unchanged sub-elements to form a new hypothetical complete system. The new system must then be analysed to see what the chances are that the chosen goals will actually be achieved. If reasonable success is unlikely you must once again use the synthesis process to generate a more effective hypothetical system. The cycle of analysis and synthesis continues until you are satisfied with the final result.

After the war the expanded manufacturing industry was kept going through the application of high import tarrifs. In Australia in the 1970s and 80s the minerals industry, which controlled about 5% of business dollars economy-wide, got the Australian government to substantially eliminate most import tariffs, defeating the manufacturing industry that, at the time, controlled about 25% of business dollars (5 times the minerals industry turnover). This policy victory was only possible because the minerals industry was able to organise a business coalition that controlled more business dollars than the manufacturing industry. The minerals industry managed to persude the agriculture, finance and retail sectors to combine and lobby for the elimination of tarrifs, against the preference of the manufacturing industry. <<return>>

<<fav>> ---- !!Memory and modules !!!Exploring ''Question:''// If this is the same system being run through multiple times, is there any reason not to use system saves?// Very interesting question! My instant gut reaction was "of course general saves are not the right solution, that's why I invented the specialist module saves idea". But then I started thinking about it more and realised that I don't know the answer definitively. I will have to think about it more carefully before I try to give you an answer. -- I haven't got an answer yet. But I've started to think about the question using a brain analogy framework. The 'whole system package' plan //adaptation// options in the Adviser are a bit like a shift in attention when a person is thinking, but in the brain, one's past thinking on a range of topics is also influencing the topic that you have shifted your attention to. Maybe the results of the user's work on the generic 'Whole System Package' plan should be available to influence focused attention on any of the plan adaptation scenarios (eg. what should the local climate group Darebin Climate Action Now [DCAN] do (in the context of one's thinking on the generic plan? Does this mean that the Advisor needs to run in continuous session? That's how the brain works. Even sleep is not a clean reboot. If the brain is in continuous session, then reverting back in the Adviser to a whole system save is like partial amnesia when a bit of your memory gets scrubbed and you have to move forward from the earlier point. But in the brain attention shifting is a way of having topics to think about in series that are linked to the whole brain (and thus all learning up to that point) but the attention shift remembers reasonably well the main contours of what you were thinking about the focus topic the last time it had your attention and so you can step off from that point rather than having to do all the past focussed thinking all over again - but you have the advantage of being able to access the the whole brain's learning up to the moment you switch attention to a new topic. So what might this mean for the Adviser?..... If I do mental arithmetic calculations I use a mental module for doing the calculation. Most people have to scrub their mental arithmetic module when they change to a new calculation. But I'm guessing that people with very high mental arithmetic skills might have built duplicate modules so they can process several calculations in parallel. I know of a real life case where a skilled musician was able to 'run' three orchestras in his head simultaneously in real time and could switch his attention between the orchestras and see what they were up to at the moment of paying attention. (This case was reported on the ABC in 2021.) For the Adviser, the user I think will need to shift topic focuses rather than working on several focusses at the one time. (In their head they will be parallel processing to a degree, but for data entry into the computer they have to shift focus and work on topics "in series" operations. And if the user decides to drop a focus (forever), they will want to clear the detailed focus info and not their memory in general. If the Adviser has modules that need to be run more than once on different focusses, then I think that the state of the last use of the module needs to be saved, then the module is cleared, and run on a new focus and the results saved and then the module can either reload an existing focus so that work can resume or it could start work on a new focus. There might be things learned by the system while working on a specialist focus that in fact has generic application, in which case the information needs to be stored in the memory related to the generic system as well or instead (but still allowing focus work to draw on it. So what does this mean for the use of whole system saves vs focussed attention saves? After rambling though all this I think that whole system saves need to be up to the minute for the whole system (ie. autosaves) with perhaps 5 to 10 'moments' saved so that <<return>> navigation can work for more than one jump, and I think that specialist focus modules need to be able to save states against named topics and to be able to be cleaned out ready to change to a new topic or to revert to an existing topic, with generic information saved into the rest of the system. Some of the saving can be done by users locally and some of the learning needs to be fed back to the developers of the Adviser so that the developers can improve the adviser system in general, thus making the improvements available to all users. ''Question:''// Is this all hypothetical system-feel concepts or is it based on an actual usecase/workflow you've developed? I just don't want to get lost in the not-actually-real zone if we're talking about system requirements / next steps. The answer to "why not use saves" should be a simple as "this thing I'm trying to do won't work with them" rather than brain analogies.// My thinking started out the former (hypothetical system-feel concepts) and I now need to see if it means something in practical terms. What happened when you posed the question (why not use whole system saves) was that I was sure I had a practical use case. That was how the design idea of within-session sub-project saves/restoration emerged. But when you challenged my assumption I felt I needed to find a way to get a bigger context so I could rethink my assumptions - so all this brain analogy stuff emerged to help me do that. !!!Developing options I think I've finally extracted some practical options from my brain analogy exploration. I've developed two different ways that the advisor could be developed. If we had endless time and project money we could probably implement both capability models. Given that we don't then we should probably choose the model that is easiest to implement. So here goes........ First some practical context.....the Adviser is being constructed to have four main content/action domains. There is a database of material, there is a module for creating a //generic// 'whole system package' plan, and a set of modules to create context differentiated adapted 'whole system package' plans (individuals, climate groups, governments, businesses, international organisations); and finally a module to enable people think about designing //projects// that can sit within the two levels of 'whole system package' plans. I think that the database and the generic level 'whole system package' module should run in continuous session mode so the autosave system can handle values persistence. But I think there would be two ways to design the differentiated 'whole system package' plan modules and the project module. One option would be to have one set of code for each of these modules and then to create multiple distinct outputs from the modules, the modules could be treated as reusable. Sub-projects would be run in a reusable module and then the module's state would be saved, allowing the module to be repurposed for another sub-project. Alternatively, the specialist modules could be //cloned// during the session so that users could end up with many projects of a related type running in the (continuous) session. In this case the whole-system autosaves could be used to ensure that Adviser values persist. If the lower level modules are designed to be reused rather than cloned, then some of the data that would need to be stored (to metadata) to capture the state of a module while working on a defined sub-project would be: *variables set with the module (including the content of text areas and text boxes) *calls to add information from the database into the sub-project output report *calls by applications of the project module to draw on variable values etc. from the higher-level differentiated 'whole system package' plan modules (that would need to be called out of the persistent metadata for the relevant sub-project). Reusable modules would need to have mass functions such as saves of the reusable module state, clearing of the state of the reusable modules and reinstatement of one of the state saves so that work can continue on the sub-project. These module saves, recalls, deletions would need to be independent of the whole system autosaves.

<<fav>> ---- !Storage and file size limits set by browsers Here is some useful information on storage limits set by browsers according to NiEv in Feb 2022: https://intfiction.org/t/better-way-to-handle-if-macros/54369/7 To clarify, a browser’s [[localStorage|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage]], which is where game save data goes, is normally either 10 MB for desktop browsers or 5 MB for mobile devices (or 2 MB in some rare instances). The browser’s [[sessionStorage|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/sessionStorage]], which is used to track the current state of the game, is also generally limited to 5 MB. Note also that the size of the storage space includes the names of the storage objects. (See also the [[MDN “Web Storage” article|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API]].) HiEv's local storage manager system. (from his code bank) https://qjzhvmqlzvoo5lqnrvuhmg-on.drv.tw/Sample_Code/Local_Storage_Manager.zip -- From past experience, the breaking point of HTML file sizes is around 70 MB in desktop browsers, with Firefox being able to handle the largest file sizes. -- You might need to be concerned about the amount of data in your game’s history. If it’s a small or medium sized game, you probably don’t need to worry about it much unless you’re cramming a ton of data in your story variables for some strange reason. However, for larger games where you may end up tracking lots of data, especially if the data frequently changes, then optimizing the data in your story variables is a good idea. Most Twine games have save data which is less than 0.25 MB, and thus have nothing to worry about in this regard. However, if you’re actually expecting to have save slots which are a megabyte or larger in size each, then this is definitely something worth paying attention to.

<<fav>> ---- !!System initiation & the playthrough & autosave reloads The adviser is being designed to run in continuous session (with state autosave and auto reload running) AND the adviser is also being updated in functionality and content very frequently - so the continuous user session overlaps the adviser development upgrades. This all being the case then any developer changes made to the StoryInit passage or to passages tagged with init, after the user starts using the adviser, will be bypassed. If we rely on session variables and don't use the metadata or remember caches, then we mustn't use restart to reinitiate the project (else the user's work will be lost), so we have to find a way to trigger the re-running of initiation code when a new version of the adviser is loaded. This can be done by This can be overcome by placing StoryInit code into the PassageReady special passage instead. This means that the project is reinitiated every time a new passage is run. Here are the reboot dynamics, taken from the SugarCube documentation, followed by a question/suggestion... <blockquote>''Refreshing and Restarting'' Whenever your story is first started or, for any reason, restarted—e.g., the browser window/tab was refreshed/reloaded—it undergoes its startup sequence. Several things occur each and every time startup happens, regardless of whether or not a playthrough session will be restored, an autosave loaded, or the starting passage run. First, the CSS, JavaScript, and Widget sections are processed. Next, the StoryInit special passage is processed. Finally, one of three things happen (in order): the existing playthrough session is restored, if it exists, else the autosave is loaded, if it exists and is configured to do so, else the starting passage is run. StoryInit code seems to have no effect because the startup state is replaced by that of the incoming state, but the initiation code is still executed by the engine. When the story is restarted by SugarCube rather than refreshed via the browser, the playthrough session, if any, is not loaded. StoryInit is run, as always. If the autosave exists and the story is configured to automatically load it, then the autosave is loaded and the state is replaced by the autosave's state and the active passage is rendered, just as if the user had loaded any other save. If no autosave exists, then the starting passage is rendered.</blockquote> Joeyrsp and Philip's (January 2022) understanding of the overall memory system is captured in this dialogue: //''Philip:''// It seems to me the twine system is designed to assume that if a player closes a tab in a controlled way, the user has completed the session - so all the transient stuff (story and passage variables) are wiped as part of the browser shutting down the tab. I guess what happens with sugarcube autosave is that the twine project triggers the browser to take all the transient stuff that would be captured by the playthrough system in a crash scenario and it is formally stored ready for the session to resume. So the auto-save system is not a parallel system to the playthrough memory, it is an extra step to retain (prevent the clearing of) the info in the playthrough memory system that otherwise would be deliberately cleared out. ''//Joeyrsp://'' The browser has 3 places data can be: 1. there is the active process in memory that the whole of the tab is loaded in with all the html and javascript and the like 2. there is the session storage which is a key/value store that is written to disk and persists through crashes but is cleared on intentional close 3. there is the local storage which is a key/value store that is written to disk and persists indefinitely * The living system that you interact with macros and twinescript lives in number 1 * The playthrough session data goes in number 2 ("session storage") * Saves go in number 3 //''Philip:''// Can all programs survive system crashes these days? ie. does the browser manage crash recovery or does the app/html file play a role? ''//Joeyrsp://'' There is no universal crash recovery system the browser will persist the session and local storage (number 2 & 3) but the stuff in memory (number 1) is not recoverable //''Philip:''// Here's what I think must happen integrating what you said with what I said earlier. To avoid losing the data in storage system 1 (your definition) twine needs to instruct the twine project file to save data regularly and without much delay into sessional storage so that the loss of info in storage system 1 has nearly no consequence. The twine project file would need to instruct the browser to NOT clear sessional data in the case of an un-graceful shutdown by the browser or the computer. In the case of a crash the twine file can then go back to the sessional data. But if there is a graceful shutdown then the twine file would, if the autosave is on, tell the browser to recategorise the data in the sessional store and 'put' it in a special category of persistent (but temporary) memory. On the resumption of the session, the twine file would recategorise the session save data as normal session data and then resume where it left off. In real life the data might or might not be copied to a new place on the disk or it might just have its labels changed so that it is treated differently. But for practical purposes when autosave is on it is telling the browser to NOT delete session info when the tab/browser is shut down. ''//Joeyrsp://'' "Instruct the browser to NOT clear sessional data" this is not a thing. Wait hold on, which way are you using session here? //''Philip:''// With auto save ''not''' on, then a session would last until tab closed or browser closed or instruction to restart given. If autosave and reload is operating then the session is ongoing in active and inactive phases - until the user finally fully shuts the project down - they would need to turn off auto save or delete autosave on engine restart. ''//Joeyrsp://'' So the pipeline is... * you load the document into memory and it starts running. * from here on twine (actually sugarcube) does everything: ** does the loading process you are familiar with, pulling things out of session and local storage (number 2 & 3) into memory (number 1). ** creates moments in memory (number 1) on passage transition. ** puts the history into session storage (number 2) under the 'playthrough session' when a new moment is created. ** puts the history into local storage (number 3) under the 'saves' when a new moment is created if autosave is on. //''Philip:''// Sounds reasonable!! :) I'm guessing that playthrough also captures pre-moment memory as well?? ''//Joeyrsp://'' What do you mean by "premoment"? //''Philip:''// That before a shift to a new passage or some coding equivalent (which I've seen exists according to the documentation) or random advice I've stumbled over.

<<fav>> ---- !!The tech stack !!!Current selection process After a fairly extensive review of our needs, looking at authoring tools for branching scenarios development, expert system tools etc. it was decided that the Adviser needed, in the main, to be able to handle very loose logic so branching scenario style authoring tools were probably the best option for the moment. Over a couple of months we upgraded from earlier use of Twine 1.4.2, to Twine 1.4.3 then jumped to Twine2/SugarCube2 then finally settled on the current Tweego / SugarCube / VSCode + Twee3 Language Tools tech stack. !!!The current tech stack <<include [[Adviser Tech Stack (2include)]]>> !!!Future development A ''database'' needs to be developed to hold the RSTI Climate Rescue knowledgebase that has been built up over the last decade or so. For the moment we will use Google Drive to hold text docs etc. and will hold structured information chunks in Twee / SugarCube generated html files. However the whole database issue needs much more careful exploration to determine what the best tech stack would be. In relation to the ''logic and judgement capabilities'' of the Adviser, the Visirule set of expert system tools will likely be useful. Once the Adviser is functional for users based on the Tweego / SugarCube / VSCode tech stack, we need to revisit the use of the Visirule toolkit. And this review needs to be accelerated when the science base for identifying the needs of the climate vulnerable has advanced further. https://www.visirule.co.uk clive spenser <clive@lpa.co.uk> <<return>>

<<fav>> ---- !The global Climate Rescue IT strategy ''//Philip://'' I've got a whole new evolutionary leap in mind growing out of the adviser project. Already part of the design is the idea that the adviser would prompt a human-to-human conversation between the user and climate rescue core campaigners. Then I started thinking more about the 'database' aspect of the adviser and then the independent version of the database and it occurred to me that campaigners around the world could feed information/ideas/strategies etc. to the central organisers to include in the database. via the CR website. Plus some local or specialist CR campaigns might choose to use twine to develop advisers for their specialised purposes. So this keeps evolving eventually into a global CR IT strategy.

But if you selected the deliberative track you will be taken instead to the setup page for developing an action checklist from first principles. !!Underlying principles that everyone can use There's a good chance that an effective climate emergency program will emerge, regardless of what your current circumstances are, if these five principles are applied: # Connect the action program to what you want to protect (ie. design and implement the action program so that it will deliver the desired protection). (Like what happens in a high quality Occupational Health and Safety Program.) # Prioritise earth system level solutions (ie. cool the earth and de-acidify the ocean, fast enough). # Create strong enough motivation to drive an effective action program. # Act as a catalyst to build a system (bigger than one's own organisation) that can deliver the desired protection (through actions that have the right functions, scale and speed). # Deliver effective action in the here and now within the current (unavoidable) resource constraints. <<return>> | [[next»|Checklist challenge?]]

There is not just one, exclusive definition of "climate emergency action" – but each definition leads to very different actions and very different outcomes and consequences. So it's worth doing at least some exploration of the possible types of climate emergency before plunging ahead.

Occupational health and safety law and supply chain impact management has created the principle of a 'chain of responsibility'. The employer is responsible for ensuring safe working conditions for employees. If an accident occurs and the employer is taken to court, a forensic examination takes place to see whether the employer can demonstrate the operation of an effective chain of responsibility: that is, were they aware of their responsibilities [[(duty of care)|Definitions, acronyms, concepts (gather)]], and did they put reasonable systems, staff allocations and training, budgets, and measures in place to ensure effective actions were taken to translate the responsibility from intent to effective action. This principle can be extended to climate action by governments, communities, organisations and even indivduals.

A moral or legal obligation to ensure the safety or well-being of others.

!!Managing the covid19 pandemic (Learning from history) The global experience with the covid pandemic highlights a model that is highly relevant to the climate issue. At the early stage of the covid pandemic there were no available vaccines or proven treatments. At the time it was known, from experience, that vaccines and treatments can often be helpful in managing infectious diseases and it was also known that badly designed vaccines and treatments could have unacceptably damaging side effects. Rather than rejecting the development of vaccines and treatments because they might perhaps not be safe enough, the protocol was to: *promote the emergency speed development of vaccines and treatments and prepare for their rapid deployment (if they happened to be approved for use); and *to subject the candidate vaccines and treatments to a rigorous (and fast) assessment process to see if they were safe enough to deliver a clear net social benefit. Only approved vaccines and treatments would be used in large scale trials and for more general use. Furthermore vaccines and treatments would be subject to ongoing evaluation to see that they were safe enough for continuing use. During the covid crisis it was interesting to see how some governments combined the two tracks of urgent promotion and regulation. Some governments entered into contracts for the large scale manufacture of vaccines that were not yet evaluated via large scale trials or yet approved. But the governments would only use the vaccines if they successfully gained approval for use having been proven to be effective and safe. If the vaccines failed to gain approval they would be sent to landfill but the manufacturers would still be paid. Why would governments do such an apparently weird thing? The rationale was that the usual linear approach – ie. develop vaccine, run trials, submit application for authorisation to distribute, contract to manufacture the vaccine material, the glass bottles and caps and packaging, and needles, and contact to manufacture and install cold storage units to hold vaccines ready for use in health clinics etc. usually takes 5 to 10 years from vaccine design to jabs in arms. But in the covid pandemic the timeline to deliver safe vaccines was cut to about 12 months. When a deadly virus is running rampant three things are needed simultaneously – ''effectiveness'' and ''safety'' for the vaccines, ''huge speed'' for the production and delivery of the vaccines so the number of lives saved is maximised. This two track approach (1. promotion of production-delivery, plus 2. genuine regulation to prevent bad candidate vaccines from being used) seems like an appropriate model to apply to climate solutions given the uncertainties involved but the critical need to reduce climate change impacts as much as possible and hopefully to eliminate/reverse climate change altogether.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 8. Broaden your subjective identification The historical trend is for society's framework of concern to broaden over time. We usually divide the world into an in-group (with whom we identify and toward whom we feel concern and empathy) and an out-group (for whom we have little or no concern). The commonest strategy for problem solving for the benefit of the in-group is to try to shift the burden of the problem from the in-group to the out-group. But if the span of concern tends to widen over time, then the chances are that past problem solving efforts will have significantly worsened the situation for future members of the in-group who were previously part of the out-group. An Opportunity Multiplying approach would aim to anticipate this widening of concern with the aim of developing solutions which eliminate the problem rather than just shift its burden. Using a biological metaphor, you try to avoid exploitative (or parasitic) relations with other parts of the system and instead aim for a symbiotic (living together) relationship. In other words, there should be a mutual exchange of benefits rather than a one way take.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 11. Cluster problems to find common causes It is no coincidence that prevention is better than cure. Most problems have many symptoms. Suppressing each one of the symptoms can be time consuming, expensive, prone to secondary complications and often ultimately futile. It is far better to treat the cause. Often by opening one's mind to a whole array of problems at once, it is possible to mentally cluster them around common causative factors. Thus, by making the initial problem ''exploration'' phase more complex, it is possible to make the problem ''solving'' stage much simpler, easier and more effective.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 30. Ensure that solutions (or groups of solutions) are commensurate with the scale and significance of the problem Solutions or groups of solutions should match the scale and significance of the problems they are designed to tackle. If this does not occur then the whole of the problem cannot be overcome.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 4. Conflict While the aim should always be to find win-win solutions to problems conflict is sometimes inevitable. If other people or organisations believe that a win-lose approach is the only possible option or if they do not hold core values similar to the other parties to a negotiation then there may be the basis for unavoidable conflict. This cannot be run away from. If it is not possible to convince the other parties to use a win-win approach then you will have to fight to defend your core values. But even in the latter case it may be possible to fight for solutions that are win-win solutions in any case - despite the lack of interest from the other parties.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 33. Continuous improvement and quality It is possible to work towards a complex ideal condition if efforts are made to evolve towards the ideal state over time. This process of evolution will need to involve lots of small steps and a number of major steps. The process of 'continuous improvement' that is advocated in management theory is a good foundation for this approach.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 10. Develop a vision of the future Too often people try to solve problems in a piecemeal fashion. This means that the solution to every particular problem is decided on different grounds to every other problem. So the solutions don't fit together and new problems are generated and resources are wasted. But while it would be ideal if we could solve all problems in one go, it just isn't possible. So what do we do? The nearest we can get to solving everything at once is to develop a vision or an impressionistic picture of what the future might look like if we were able to give effect to our multiple goals. The vision is used as a reference point to judge each ad-hoc or individual decision which has to be made. The test in each decision is: "does the proposed solution, over the longer term, move us further towards the realisation of our vision or further away? In this way a multitude of ad hoc decisions can be given some degree of coherence with a minimum of formal coordination. The vision should be comprehensive and integrated. It should be based on the integration of not just your own highest order goals, but should also embrace, as far as possible, other people's highest order goals. Thus the vision aims to represent a 'highest common denominator' resolution of the whole community's desires in which your highest order goals are also achieved. The vision needs to be constantly up-dated to reflect changes in people's highest order goals, to incorporate the latest technical knowledge and to take advantage of the current best practice in problem solving techniques so that it remains realistic as well as idealistic.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 5. Direct analysis Our culture and our experience colour our perceptions of the world. For example, we often carry unconscious notions about the economic or political feasibility of future options that lead us to dismiss these options before they have been tested. The idea of carrying out a 'direct analysis' is to try to imagine future options actually operating. If it seems that they would be practical in a physical and social sense and that they would yield worthwhile social and environmental benefits then strategies can probably be devised to make these options feasible in economic and political terms.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 6. Ends and means The Opportunity Multiplying method aims to be radical, idealistic and practical. It is radical because it tries to get to the root causes of problems. That is, it tries to tackle causes rather than just suppressing symptoms. It is idealistic because it tries to first identify fundamental goals (by analysing why people think a problem is a problem) and only then attempts to find a solution to the problem. It is practical in that the method recognises that, at any one time, there are limited means and opportunities to achieve fundamental goals, so: *it is necessary to see the highest order goals as giving generalised guidance on the direction for social evolution. The solutions should at least be "heading in the right direction". The highest order goals can therefore be described as ideals or directional goals. *for the purposes of achieving some actual level of implementation, means and ends have to be matched by reformulating both the practical expression of the chosen goals and the available resources. This is both a social and a technical process.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 17. Focus and boundaries Large or complex problems must be reduced in "size" one way or another for human beings to be able to solve them. However, the choice of the reduction method makes a significant difference to the nature of the resulting solutions. Rather than taking a large system and breaking it into a series of completely isolated pieces, the Opportunity Multiplying technique limits the problem solving task by selecting a clearly identifiable focus. Exploration of this study focus is not limited by defined boundaries, since in the real world everything is connected to everything else, but instead excursions away from the focus are judged by their contribution to the development of solutions which satisfy the declared value goals. One of the important features of the Opportunity Multiplying method is that it controls this process of moving away from the study or problem focus.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 20. Work with complexity first in order to achieve the greatest simplicity Effective action requires simplicity: clarity of purpose, clear thinking and clear cut implementation. But this simplicity is an ''outcome'' of effectiveness. The world ''is'' a complex reality. Some problems ''are'' complex. This complexity must be faced. If solutions are not based on an understanding of the complexity of the real world, then they will be simple minded rather than simple and will, at best, just fail or at worst they will create needless complications in the real world. If the reality being considered is complex, thinking must first be complex before it can be made simple, and before effective solutions can be devised. See: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UB2iYzKeej8]]

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 29. The hologram approach - the whole in the parts Holographic photographs have the unusual feature that they will still display a 'complete' view of the subject even if they are cut in half [3]. Thus the 'whole' seems to reside in all the parts. This concept can be applied as an analogy to organisations. If an opportunity or a problem needs to be pursued by many people or units over a long period of time, then the hologram approach is probably called for. That is, each person or unit not only has their special tasks to perform but they also take on responsibility for the whole project. So if a person or a unit ceases to be active or some part of the system is missing or under-performing then one or more of the other units takes action to remedy the deficiency. This approach creates enormous robustness/resilience. This concept is reflected also in the notion of [[unilateral cooperation|Unilateral cooperation_Opmult_Framework]].

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 23. Intellectual rigour and moral courage To make the Opportunity Multiplying method work it is essential that it is applied with full intellectual rigour (and vigour too!). This is because the problems it is designed to solve are the hard ones which are not amenable to solution by other less stringent methods. If you want the results you have to put in the effort. (It is time the "too hard basket" was a temporary stopping place on the way to a solution rather than the end of a dead-end road.) With Opportunity Multiplying you do not stop using the method because it seems too hard, you simply take a little longer, or work on improving the method itself as it applies to a particular application. It is also critical that political pressures or “realities” are not allowed to constrain the application of the method, but instead such pressures or "realities" are entered as data for consideration using the Opportunity Multiplying method. They are analysed as part of the problem under consideration. There should be no hidden agendas.

!!! (Opportunity multiplying – Framework) Introduction Author: Philip Sutton Reductionist problem solving methods, where problems are broken down into component parts for separate solution, have served the world well in many ways. However, by definition there are a class of problems that do not yield to this method. Complex social and ecological problems where everything is connected to everything else are just such problems. In fact, to some extent, environmental problems arise because of the exclusive application of reductionist problem solving methods. This is why it is essential that we also use holistic methods. The original version of the method (Opportunity Multiplying) that is outlined in this paper, was developed by the participants in an ecologically sustainable development vision building exercise (White et al., "Seeds for change: Creatively confronting the energy crisis", 1978). Towards the end of the project, those involved became aware that they had been unconsciously using an opportunity generating and problem solving technique which appeared to be significantly different from most conventional methods. I wrote up the philosophy of the method a couple of years after the completion of the project to make it accessible to others (probably in the early 1980s?). I have added to the original material whenever I have become aware of important new principles. The method rejects the reflex resort to: • ''compromise'' (you want black, I want white, but we'll agree to grey) • ''reductionist simplifying''(if a problem is too hard, just take a smaller piece of it and see how you go with that in isolation). Instead the method presupposes that there are solutions to most problems which would be good for each of the involved parties (Fisher & Ury). For example, if it is known ''why'' you want black and I want white it might turn out that green would satisfy both of us well, whereas grey would please neither of us.) The method also proposes that the way to make a problem simpler is to make it 'bigger' rather than smaller (that is, take in more of the relevant systems rather than less, in order to expand the range of options). It is important to note that what is set out below is the ''philosophy'' of Opportunity Multiplying, rather than a set of specific operational rules about how to apply the method.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 21. Intuition and conscious logic The Opportunity Multiplying method has been designed to handle difficult, complex problems. It therefore needs to make deliberate use of the most powerful combination of thinking techniques available. It uses a balanced application of both conscious logical and intuitive methods of thinking. While both intuition and conscious logic are both used for problem analysis or solution synthesis, conscious logic has its most concentrated application in the analysis process, and it is essential to use intuition for the effective generation of solutions. The intuitive approach must be used in Opportunity Multiplying because it is specifically geared to the handling of problems involving a large number of interacting elements. It makes use of the brain's capacity to develop complex simulation models to mirror aspects of the real world. The more complete and accurate the model's data base, and the more closely its structure mirrors the relevant interactions of the real world, the more effective the intuition will be. (In [[the reference list|References (gather)]] see Edward de Bono's "Lateral Thinking for Management", Pelican, and Michael Sanderson's "Successful Problem Management" for the practical implications of the theory.) Conscious logical thought can be thought of as being like a thin intense beam of light focussed on a particular problem. It achieves great clarity at the cost of requiring a reduced field of attention. Also like a torch focussed on the point of interest, conscious logical thought can be redirected at will. There is also awareness of how conclusions are reached. By contrast, when using intuitive thought, you just "know" or "feel" that the conclusion is correct without being consciously aware of why it is 'right'. This lack of conscious awareness of the mechanics of how you arrive at a conclusion does not matter so long as the results are subjected to subsequent logical and analytical scrutiny, and so long as the results are checked against empirical, real world evidence. Through this checking process the internal intuitive model of the world is updated and improved. (For a very useful insight into how intuition works as a mental process see: Guy Claxton's book "Hare brain, Tortoise mind" in the [[reference list|References (gather)]]. The Opportunity Multiplying method deliberately combines the power of these two main modes of thinking by consciously rotating through cycles of analysis and synthesis, and through alternate applications of intuitive and conscious logical thought.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 31. Judge success by progress to the ideal rather than movement from past bad performance Success in any program should be judged by the extent to which the ideal is actually achieved. It is not enough to simply look back to past performance and see some increment of improvement. This is because many serious problems need to be solved within a finite time frame or need to be substantially achieved before a satisfactory result can be claimed.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 19. Make problems bigger to make them easier to solve It is often assumed that a difficult problem can be best solved if small pieces of it are taken at a time and solved separately. This is true if the 'problem' is in fact a cluster of semi-independent sub-problems. However this is often not the case. The Opportunity Multiplying method proposes that the way to make a problem simpler is to make it 'bigger' rather than smaller (that is take in more of the relevant systems rather than less in order to expand the range of options).

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 16. Multiple perspectives When considering any problem/solution you should always use more than one (and preferably more than two) conceptual frameworks. In the same way that binocular vision gives better resolution that monocular vision, the use of more than one conceptual framework helps you to avoid distorted perceptions of the matters you are examining and to avoid thinking about a problem from only one angle or perspective. You should develop your conceptual frameworks to highlight the full range of things you think are important. Thus, if as recommended, you have adopted an approach which uses: *a subject/objective duality *multiple goals *a search for multiple problem solutions, etc., and which considers: *all the relevant parts of the physical and social systems, then, you should use these considerations to guide your choice of conceptual frameworks. Multiple frameworks will help you to avoid being blinkered or from falling into a mental rut. See [[Putting yourself in other's shoes|Putting yourself in other's shoes_Opmult_Framework]] for one way to identify other perspectives to explore.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 3. No major trade-offs Traditional thinking holds that when more than one objective is being pursued, not all of the objectives can be fully achieved. It is assumed that a major trade-off will be necessary. However using a creative approach to problem solving or opportunity multiplying, especially where innovation over a period of time is possible, it is often possible to avoid trade-offs on the major issues altogether. To achieve such a result it may be necessary to accept trade-offs on less important questions.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 18. Open systems and closed systems It is important not to treat parts of systems in isolation. However since the whole universe is in fact one vast interacting system any problem solving task might seem a little overwhelming. One way of making the task easier is to divide the universe into three parts: *a (tight) study focus, *a (broader) field of interest (i.e. the conscious context, background or environment of the study focus), and *the rest (i.e. the unconscious context, background or environment of the study focus). You need to concentrate most of your efforts on the study focus but it is essential that some consideration be given to the general context. In some cases, when faced with a problem which seems insoluble you may need to take elements of what previously had been considered "context" into the study focus in order to give them more detailed consideration. This argument applies also to elements of the context which previously had been outside the investigator's consciousness. The problem is to identify which things are not known which need to be known. (It is rather like deducing the characteristics of the missing jigsaw piece from characteristics of the known pieces.)

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 22. Paradox and the resolution of apparent conflicts Frequently problems seem to have paradoxical or contradictory elements which make it difficult to arrive at a satisfactory solution. In this situation the traditional problem solving method would normally recommend developing some sort of halfway compromise. This response is not ideal however, since many so-called paradoxes are not irresolvable, because they are not "real" but instead arise from semantic confusions, habit-caused blind spots, or an inadequate understanding of the problem or the affected system. The Opportunity Multiplying method assumes that paradoxes or contradiction are usually more apparent than real, and that you should therefore set out to discover where the confusion has arisen. Eli Goldratt, in "It's not luck" makes very active use of paradox resolution as a method for creating powerful solutions - see the [[reference list|References (gather)]]. A classic cause of misunderstanding is exposed in the "elephant and blind people" parable. The story goes that a group of blind people were examining a new living thing. To one it seemed to be like a snake, to another like a tree, etc, etc, and a strong argument developed over who was correct. In reality none were completely right and none completely wrong. Each was giving an accurate description of part of the creature, which was in fact an elephant, but was falsely assuming that they had perceived the whole of the situation. This sort of distorted perception is the source of much meaningless argument. In any argument it is important to determine whether people are at cross purposes because they are focussed on different, but nevertheless relevant, parts of a larger system.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 2. Practical idealism In our culture people tend to think that idealistic behaviour is by definition impractical and that practical people are not idealistic. In fact just about anything that has ever been done that is worthwhile, especially where it has involved breaking new ground, has involved the practical pursuit of an ideal. Practical idealism involves the integration of some of the positivecharacteristics and skills of three stereotypic types of people who are not practical idealists: * ''the pragmatist'' who knows how to get things done in the real world, but does things just to advance their own situation, so that often the things that get done are of little wider social or environmental value or may be quite negative * ''the woolly-headed idealist'' who can imagine an ideal future but has no idea of how to make it happen and therefore doesn't make it happen * ''the critic'' who can tell you what's wrong with everything (both the status quo and any ideal alternatives) but once again can't tell you how to make anything good happen. To avoid the negative characteristics of these three stereotypes one should instead combine idealism and practicality, and strive to be a ''practical idealist''.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 13. Problems into opportunities; constraints into goals A productive way of drawing together the multiple goals and multi-problem solution approaches is to try to transform problems into: *goals, or *opportunities. If an action has to be taken to solve one problem, some extra effort should be put into finding additional spin-off benefits. Also, rather than spending a lot of time after the event trying to stop or substantially modify undesirable projects, effort should be put into devising projects that meet the desired goals right from the start.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 24. Putting yourself in the other person/organisation/system element's shoes To understand how complex systems work it is essential that a person tries to see the world from the perspective of each of the system elements. This principle is summed up in the adage that one should be able to put oneself in other people's shoes. Only in this way can one begin to understand the motivations, needs, preferences etc. of other parties and therefore be in a position to predict what their response would be in different situations.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 12. Seek solutions for groups of problems Not only does Opportunity Multiplying involve clustering many symptoms of problems and then solving the root cause, it also involves a process of clustering and integrating, or 'double decking', the implementation programs. This makes for much more economical implementation mechanisms or 'vehicles'. To find opportunities for double decking you ask yourself, not whether the problems have a common cause, but rather, whether the implementation programs for a number of problems have a common character. If so, a joint program might be more effective or efficient.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 9. The simultaneous achievement of multiple goals One of the essential characteristics of the Opportunity Multiplying method is that it requires the simultaneous satisfaction of a number of fundamental or higher order goals. This is essential if the solutions being generated are to meet the full range of basic human and ecological needs. Only by doing this can the optimum solution be found for any particular problem. By aiming to satisfy fewer high order value goals you might be able to reduce the magnitude or difficulty of the solution generation task, but you would also guarantee an inferior result. Even the traditional method of problem solving recognises that multiple objectives have to pursued sometimes. However, it is believed that while a single objective might be maximised, where there are multiple objectives only the partial satisfaction of each one is possible. The terms "trade-off" and "compromise" come readily to mind when you think about the traditional method. The Opportunity Multiplying method however rejects the immediate recourse to compromise. If it appears that one important goal has to be significantly "traded off" against another important goal or that several important goals can only be partially satisfied, this situation is not accepted. Instead the problem is recast: *at a higher level of generality, or *in some other new way, and then a new cycle of analysis and synthesis is gone through so that a better solution can be generated. Compromise and trade-off are definitely techniques of the last resort. The aim is "no major trade-offs". The increasingly strong emphasis on project teams and simultaneous or concurrent design in business are efforts to facilitate the practical achievement of multiple goals.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 26. Be profligate in generating solutions/options Good solutions can only be selected if they exist. The more goals one is trying to achieve at once the greater the number of options will have to be generated to find one or some that perform well against all the main requirements.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 27. Solve/act for the long term but start now There are a number of good reasons why you should try to generate solutions with the long term in mind. The first is that once you reject a purely self centred approach there is no reason why you should not consider, as far as you are capable, the needs of all future generations rather than just the immediate one. Furthermore many so-called solutions to problems are nothing more than devices to shift the burden into the future. Solving for the long term, at least conceptually, closes off this approach. Furthermore over the long haul, for quasi-immortal entities (like families, corporations and other major human institutions, and living species) the means of achieving private and public good tend to converge and coincide to a large degree.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 1. Strategic optimism / tactical pessimism To maximise what can be achieved, it pays to adopt an optimistic approach to high-level goals, programs and projects, as a whole. But to ensure that this optimism is not misplaced, it is useful, at the level of specifics, to imagine that the worst ''could'' happen and then plan to make sure it doesn't or plan to recover rapidly from any set backs that might occur . That is, one adopts an optimistic approach at the strategic level, but a pessimistic approach at the detailed or tactical level. Taken as a whole, this this approach can be described as //“strategic optimism & tactical pessimism”//.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 7. Subject/object duality At first glance "means" and "ends" seem to be completely separate categories. Means are seen as objects, that is the independent instruments or techniques for achieving the ends or goals. However real life is not as clear cut as this. Often there is a very tangible link or overlap between the ends (the goals and their beneficiaries) and the means (the available resources). The usual subjects of concern are people or human communities or other living things. We empathise or identify with these subjects and have subjective thoughts and feelings about them. However, often people and other living species themselves play an instrumental role in achieving their own desired goals. They are the means to their own ends i.e. people and the other species are simultaneously the subject and the object of the problem solving process. If a problem is to be solved effectively, so that it takes into account the total situation, it is necessary to respond both objectively and subjectively at the same time. Real world problems involve a subject/object duality.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 28. Be prepared to take personal or organisational responsibility for tackling the really big issues No opportunity or problem is too big for personal action. 'Saving the world' can be a personal project - but recognise that you will need to team up with others to take on the task - you will need to act as a catalyst.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 25. Truth and value The Opportunity Multiplying method requires the user to make the prudent assumption that there is at least a little truth or value in everyone's views. The problem is to identify the nature of this truth. The importance of this assumption is that it helps you to avoid: *the single-goal problem-solving approach, *dismissing views or ideas simply because they have been badly formulated or because they have been put forward by people whose views you may not normally approve of or respect. As a general rule, there is something important to be gleaned whenever someone is passionate or immovable about an issue, no matter how peculiar or poorly argued their views may seem. It may take some digging and analysing to find out what this important information is.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 34. Unilateral cooperation Breaking out of negative cycles requires at least one party to cease tit for tat behaviour and begin to cooperate unilaterally, that is, to act on the basis that the interests of the other party or parties are at least a part of one's own objectives.

!!!(Opportunity multiplying – Framework) 32. Widen thoughts and concentrate action One of the strengths but also one of the potential weaknesses of the Opportunity Multiplying method is that it expands your field of thinking. This can greatly improve your problem solving capacities. However it can also lead to: (a) a butterfly approach of purposelessly following random leads in all directions, or (b) the paralysis of analysis where you don't know at what point to stop any process, or (c) being overloaded with simply too much to do. To avoid this problem you have to have a program for concentrating your actions. When you are working with the analysis or synthesis process you can reduce the task by working at higher levels of generalisation rather than using the traditional process of shrinking your work boundaries. Another approach is to analyse the jobs you have to do and then try to cluster them into the smallest number of meaningful multi-purpose tasks.

!!!Achievability — in the world as it is now Now that impacts from the changed climate are already severe, with each climate-driven crisis there are //some// of the climate vulnerable who perish. Plus putting protection measures in place will take time, so further losses will most likely occur. In the face of this, some people feel that a goal of protecting the climate vulnerable is no longer possible. But a response like this would throw out the baby with the bathwater. Despite prior losses, commitment to the protection of the remaining climate vulnerable is even more important.

!!!Action centred on whole system package plan The climate issue is huge and complicated. No one individual or organisation can act on everything or think about everything, so the usual response is to select a piece of climate action to work on and hope that other people and organisations will pick up everything else that needs to be thought about or done. The problem with this approach is that noone really knows what the gaps in understanding and action are. It should not be a surprise that that this approach is not how any complex projects with strong requirements for safety is managed eg. air liner design and manufacturing, the constructon of sky scrapers. The managers of these projects draw on a well developed methodology for complex program management that is held together by a planning process for a whole-system package of actions. If we are to have any success in protecting the climate vulnerable we will have to apply this whole system planning process to climate action.

Because excess greenhouse gas emissions have been going on for so long at such a large scale, these excess emissions have created a series of additional problems that now have to be dealt with in their own right if we are to protect the climate vulnerable: *the level of greenhouse //''gases''// (CO2, methane, etc.) in the air is way too high[[(*)|Where 2022 CO2 sits in climate history_PrinEtc]], [[(*)|Methane levels_PrinEtc]] *the global //''temperature''// is way too high (even at the current level of +1.2°C) *the //''heat content''// of the //''oceans''// is too high *the //''acidification''// of the oceans is too high *the //''loss of ice''// from the ice sheets and the Arctic Ocean is too high *the melting of the //''permafrost''// is too high.

!!!Building a flywheel to drive the program Jim Collins, in his book “Good to Great” developed the idea that organisations can often build success if they can create a cycle of actions that feed into each other creating a process of momentum building. This concept is summarised in a short monograph: “Turning the Flywheel”[[|https://www.jimcollins.com/books/turning-the-flywheel.html]]. Building a great program of action never happens all at once. There’s no single defining action. Rather the process resembles relentlessly pushing a giant heavy flywheel, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond.

!!!Capacity building, growth and cultural formation through volunteerism When resources are slim at the start and a new culture is needed and the task is huge, then the fastest growth will come from an organisational structure that is made up largely of volunteers. Volunteers probably most often work best in small teams to provide mutual support and encouragement.

!!!Catalysing effective global action How can we catalyse effective global action when no one is in charge of 'everything' and hierarchies are initially not working effectively? It would be ideal if every powerful organisation in the world was already strongly committed to acting urgently to protect the climate vulnerable, but obviously that is not where we are right now. Campaigning and action to protect the climate vulnerable must, of necessity, start wherever we are now ie. wherever we have the greatest capacity and support - even if initially both are modest. Early in a social change process the greatest impact can be exercised via //''influence''// rather than direct //''control''// over the delivery of solutions. With a global issue the fastest growth of action can be achieved if action is seeded widely around the world as soon as possible because: *people can have more hope if they see that their local action is adding to a global effort *each area can work on reaching a critical mass of support concurrently[[|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_design_and_manufacturing]], meaning that the total global build up time is minimised. Complex and challenging ideas are taken on and spread most effectively if they are engaged with in small social networks first[[(*)|How behaviour spreads_Ref BKG]]. This puts a premium on the value of in-depth one-to-one or small group discussions and the value of maximising the number of people engaged in such conversations. To catalyse effective global action to protect the climate vulnerable, strategies need to be developed to spread engagement //''outwards''// from initial starting points widely within countries and across the globe as soon as possible and then to build strong support //''upwards''// through power hierarchies and upwards through the levels of government (from local up to national and then international).

!!!Catalysis A catalytic organisation probably will be more effective if it has both core ongoing functions and incubator functions: <<include [[Catalysis table (2include) DB]]>> A strongly catalysing organisation like the Climate Rescue Catalyst Group needs to have independent “open space” structures along side it so that people who are activated /inspired by its work can develop projects independently. If the Climate Rescue Catalyst Group sees enough synergy with any of these projects then the Catalyst Group could negotiate the incorporation of the project into the Catalyst Group structure.

!!!Vulnerablility time frame *Near term vulnerable (people in areas heavily impacted by extreme weather events, coral reef systems, atoll islands, etc.) - impacted now or over the next decade or two *Longer term vulnerable (everyone, everything, everywhere - depending on how bad the climate gets). !!!Causes of climate vulnerability Broad categories: water stress, ecosystem breakdown, climate-driven migration and security stress, and climate-driven food shortages. Examples: •  ??? !!!Scoping climate vulnerability The climate vulnerable can be scoped using this diagram: <center><IMG SRC="http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/graphics/Scoping-the-climate-vulnerable.png"></center> !!!The Climate Vulnerable – the focus of empathy & compassion (vulnerable to climate impacts) Broad categories: people, human communities, other living things, species, ecological communities, ecosystems Examples: •  Young people, everywhere •  Climate refugees •  Nations and people of the atoll islands •  The people of Bangladesh •  People of fire prone areas •  People of flood prone areas •  People of areas prone to super storms (eg. the Philippines, the Gulf of Mexico) •  Indigenous people living on country •  Coral reefs (eg. the Great Barrier Reef) •  Cold dependent ecosystems. •  Acidification prone marine environments (eg. the Southern and Arctic Oceans) !!!Climate vulnerable systems – the focus of our enlightened self-interest (vulnerable to climate impacts) Broad categories: agricultural systems, development areas, industries, societies, ecosystems, earth system elements, civilisation Examples: •  The Arctic sea ice •  The Greenland ice sheet •  The West Antarctic ice sheet •  Areas subject to the Arctic jet stream •  Natural carbon stores (forests, permafrost, soils, peat lands, ocean clathrates) •  Low lying coastal areas •  Areas prone to desertification under climate change !!!The climate-solutions vulnerable (vulnerable to the impacts of climate change solutions) Broad categories: Human communities dependent on employment from high emissions industries (eg. fossil fuels, ruminant based agriculture) Examples: •  ???

<<include [[Chain of responsibility_Def (2include) DB]]>> We need to apply this approach to climate action because there is currently a huge gap between what would need to be done to protect the climate vulnerable and the policies that are being applied and even the policies that are being advocated for climate action.

The main climate action paradigms (in the climate rescue context) are: *the //''conventional climate action paradigm''// that focuses on: **emissions reduction **meeting the Paris temperature targets (trying to stabilise the temperature at +1.5°C or well below +2°C) **creating a net zero emissions economy by 2050 **adapting to impacts of whatever climate change is occurring. *the //''climate rescue paradigm''// that focuses on: **identifying the climate protection needs of the climate vulnerable, required by when **delivering timely protection for the climate vulnerable, with emphasis given to earth system protection measures (to maximise the protection of all the climate vulnerable globally).

!!!Complexity A climate rescue program would be on a par, in terms of complexity, with managing the covid pandemic or the second world war, but with the added complexity that some of the institutions needed for a climate rescue have not yet been created and the climate movement is still in the early stages of developing the skills needed to get all types of government into emergency action mode to successfully deliver maximum protection. So, an organisation that is set up to catalyse a global climate rescue will need to be able to handle the complexity and the unprecedented character of the needed program. It will need to combine campaigning and research capabilities. And it will need to proactively recruit people who have a strong capability or potential to handle complexity. The challenges of and quite powerful methods for handing complexity are well known in management practice - often labelled as the field of 'complex project management' or //'''complex program management'''//. *<<include [[The art of systems architecting_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[Tools for complex projects_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[How to manage complex programs_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[Arsenal of World War II_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[Call to arms_Mobilizing America for World War II_Ref (2include) DB]]>> (As a side note: The reason for creating this Adviser was to make it easier to handle the complexity inherent in communicating about Climate Rescue campaigning.)

!!Decisions in the face of uncertainty and urgency The danger from current climate conditions, evidenced by: *the increasing severity of climate impacts over the last 20 years or so (eg. extreme weather events, desertification, sea level rise, acidification of the ocean)[[|https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/18/critical-climate-indicators-broke-records-in-2021-says-un]][[|https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bbe6a05f6dae42f2a420cfdd7698e4b1]][[|https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=22080#.YoYZ59hBzj8]] *the passing of key earth system tipping points[[|https://www.breakthroughonline.org.au/_files/ugd/148cb0_2a1626569b45453ebadad9f151e031b6.pdf]] means that there is extreme urgency to provide protection to the climate vulnerable affected by current climate impacts and those vulnerable to the changes in earth system elements that have passed tipping points. But climate measures that could most likely provide near-term relief from extreme weather events or could reverse tipping points are not well researched so we don't yet know whether there would be net benefit from applying them. So how should we make decisions (to act or not to act) in the face of strong uncertainty and the need for urgent protection?

!!!Developing and challenging solutions To develop good solutions people need to be keen and creative, but the risk (moral hazard) is that the creators fall in love with their creations and can be somewhat blind to their weak points. So we also need people to take on the critic role to find the weaknesses in the proposals. But the moral hazard here is that critics get more excited about getting a scalp than they are about finding the true value of the proposals they are critiquing. So we also need people to play a third role of ensuring fair play between the contesting parties and ensuring validity of arguments in any direction, without being committed to the outcome. The moral hazard here is that people in this role hide their personal preferences but nevertheless let those preferences influence their ostensibly neutral role.

!!!Driving coordinated action via a whole system package plan The currently conventional approach to climate change is to recognise that the issue (in all its ramifications) is huge – well beyond what any one person or even organisation can get ever their head around in totality. So people decide to specialise in some aspect of the issue and to hope that somebody else will cover all the rest. But if no one has an integrated picture of issue and what needs to be done then there can be no certainty that everything that needs to be thought about or done is being tackled. Humans clearly can handle huge complexity otherwise we wouldn't have smart phones or international air services or skyscrapers or a million other features of modern life. The usual way this is done is to create organisations or networks that have some degree of hierarchy and the people on the top of the hierarchy are meant to work hard to develop a good enough overview and to manage the application of effort to sub-projects that add up to the whole effort. But sometimes (often?) the top of the hierarchy is not handling a complex and important issue well and then the solution is 'managing upwards' – people or organisations that are normally seen as low in the hierarchy, the bit players, have to take on responsibility for the 'whole' and to figure out how to make the hierarchy improve its performance to the degree necessary to handle the challenging issue. For this managing upwards approach to work, everyone needs to have their own integrated 'whole system package' plan. Each person's system plan will need to be as complicated as necesary but ultimately as complicated as they can manage.

A world that relies principally on adaptation to climate change will trend towards a situation where the poor cannot survive and the rich create a technology-dominated life support system with water from desalination plants (where deserts are spreading), food is grown and people live under air conditioned domes or they live in the new green areas of Antarctica and the Arctic Circle - in a process that could be thought of as the Dubai-ification of the world[[|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai]].

!!!Duty of care and chain of responsibility Each person and organisational unit needs to take responsibility, based on a duty of care, for translating protection ethics and policy through a chain of actions (chain of responsibility) to the final delivery of protection (as has to be done under occupational health and safety law).

The duty of care/chain of responsibility approach (systematic protection) implies a need for a five-step process: *beginning with a duty of care for civil society climate action groups and governments – to protect all people and other living things globally *the identification of the conditions (at the earth system level and locally) that are needed to protect the climate vulnerable *the identification of what actions are needed by when to deliver the conditions needed to protect the climate vulnerable (people and other living things etc.) *the creation of a program or system to drive the delivery of the needed protection actions *the implementation of the actions required to provide the needed protection, fast and reliably.

!!!Electoral strategies (in the context of the Australian voting systems) Major infuences on how the process of electing members of parliament and local government councillors in Australia are: *compulsory voting[[|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system_of_Australia#Compulsory_voting]] *the voting systems [[1|https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/RP0708/08rp05]], [[2|https://www.ecanz.gov.au/electoral-systems/australia]], [[3|en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system_of_Australia]]. *party registration *nomination process: **self nomination **nomination via a party *the sourcing of candidates (pre-selection): **via parties [large and small] **self-nomination **via electorate-based organisations *influencing pre-selection: **joining a party (eg. as done in relation to the ALP by people in the anti-uranium mining movement in the late 1970s and the 1980s) **external campaigning *influencing party/candidate policy **working inside a party or in a candidate's team **thought leadership / intellectual engagement **community campaigning **via broadcast media **via social media (tight targeting) *influencing the electors via campaigning by: **community organisations **electable parties and candidates **non-electable micro-parties and independent candidates *strategies for influencing the formation of government **Marginal seats campaigning **Campaigning in 'safe seats' where the incumbent is a poor values match to the electorate – in support of a candidate or party that is a strong vaues match to the electorate (and to the campaign groups)

<<fav>> | <<return>> ---- !!!Emergency mode of action The scale and urgency of what needs to be done to provide strong protection for the climate vulnerable is so great that it will not be deliverable in time if governments and societies don't go into emergency action mode. Effective emergency action will depend on a massive mobilisation of communities and their economies.

!!!Emergency-mode packages of action To be effective, an emergency response depends on a clear overall objective and a comprehensive package of coordinated, integrated actions that are given very high priority in terms of urgency, resources and attention.

<<fav>> | <<return>> ---- !!!Emissions-only action will not stop the warming trend for about 20 years David Spratt's Breakthrough paper //Climate Reality Check 2021// (p.30-31) shows that emissions-only action will not stop the warming trend for about 20 years. As fossil fuel use declines, so will aerosol emissions, which have been offsetting some warming. A by-product of burning fossil fuels are sulfate aerosols, which have a strong cooling impact of 0.5–1°C, but are short-lived in the atmosphere. Aerosols have been “masking” some of the warming so far. Declining coal use and clean air policies reduce the aerosol impact. This is our “Faustian bargain” as fossil fuel use declines, so does the aerosol cooling, so that for the next two decades lower emissions will have little impact on the warming trend. A 5% annual reduction in emissions of a single greenhouse gas, from 2020 and based on a middleroad emissions path, has no statistically significant effect on warming for more than two decades, as compared to a no-mitigation pathway. Nevertheless, fast emissions elimination are vital to flatten the warming curve. (See Climate Reality Check 2021 for the references supporting this argument.) <<include [[Climate Reality Check 2021_Ref (2include) DB]]>>

!!!Focuses for power building and mobilisation modes There are multiple sources of power in societies. Any source of power ignored for too long will provide a point of leverage for climate damaging forces to mobilise around. But when ramping up with limited resources it may not be possible to start with universal coverage of all the sources of power and all the mobilisation modes. If multiple organisations work together then full coverage might be achieved faster. <<include [[Power focuses table (2include) DB]]>>

!!!Forms of products/outputs/results The end state goal of the Climate Rescue Catalyst Group is to deliver full protection for the climate vulnerable. But it will take a huge global collaboration of people, organisations and governments to deliver that. So the critical practical requirement for the Climate Rescue Catalyst Group is to catalyse the formation of effective alliances. To do this, the Climate Rescue Catalyst Group will need to generate a range of outputs eg. *social/organisational settings where people can develop a new culture of climate activism suitable for an effective climate rescue *paradigm shifting ideas (thought leadership) *active engagement with the wider society, including alliance formation.

!!!The type of goal When we talk about protecting the climate vulnerable what sort of goal is this?[[(*)|Types of goals_PrinEtc]]. RSTI's[[(*)|Definitions, acronyms, concepts (gather)]] take on this is that the 'protect the climate vulnerable' goal is both an ideal and a literal goal (one that should actually be achieved in full). !!!The chance of success In the world of climate science, it is very common for research reports on actions required to achieve climate goals to say — "to have a good chance of achieving 'goal x' we need to do such and such". And for a long time a "good chance" was defined as a 50:50 or 1 in 2 or 50% chance of success[[(*)|Bell curves & predictions_DB]]. But this benchmark is not useful in a safety management context. Only the truly desparate would catch a plane or start walking over a bridge that would only give them a 50% chance of getting to their destination safely. In response to this criticism, most scientific reports now define "a good chance of success" as a 2 in 3 chance (66%) — which is better but still not great odds (still a 1/3 chance of failure). This compares with the routine safety standard in run-of-the-mill engineering of a 1 in 1000 chance of success (99.9%) and, where many lives and the reputations of companies are at stake such as in the aviation industry, design and management processes aim for failure rates of less than 1 in 1,000,000 (>99.9999% chance of success). With target success rates as high as this, in practical terms, what managers and designers are aiming for is "zero failure" and the more that is at stake the harder they press towards the zero goal. This "zero" approach is now embedded in best practice in the manufacturing industry (zero defects) and industrial safety (zero injuries). (See: A review of the history of safety[[|http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/SCS/A-review-of-the-history-of-safety.doc]]) !!!The scope of success The aim of protecting the climate vulnerable should be to not just survive but thrive. <<include [[Achievability (include) DB]]>> !!!Bringing all this together as "maximum protection" In the light of all this, RSTI believes that the goal should be to try to protect the climate vulnerable to the maximum extent that can be made possible[[|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]].

!!!Framing solutions packages to maximise the global benefit Priority should be given to solutions measures that have the biggest global benefit multiple – so that the rich world doesn’t get ‘lost’ in only expensive local adaptation – leaving all else to suffer or perish. This approach also means that local efforts framed in this way will add to the global effort.

!!!Global and local A climate rescue program needs to be built on the rapid restoration of naturally regulated safe climate conditions at the earth system level, and be complemented during the restoration period by local and global interim protection measures.

!!!Goals The Climate Rescue program needs to be driven by literal goals that are meant to be achieved rather than symbolic or identity goals that are meant to signal what sort of organisation we want to be seen as[[(*)|Types of goals_PrinEtc]].

<<fav>> | <<return>> ---- !!!The average earth temperature will likely reach +1.5°C by about 2030 David Spratt's Breakthrough paper //Climate Reality Check 2021// (p.10-11) shows that emissions-only action will not stop the warming trend for about 20 years. Rising emissions, declining aerosols (air pollution) and natural climate cycles will contribute to faster warming, as will greater stratification of the ocean with a hotter layer of water on top. There is unanimity across the current (CMIP6) model simulations that warming will rise above 1.5°C across all feasible scenarios “on average around 2030”. This is ten years earlier than previously forecast by the IPCC in 2018. There is likely no carbon budget for the climate Paris goal27: If carbon-cycle feedbacks are accounted for, “such as tipping points in forest ecosystems & abrupt permafrost thaw, the estimated remaining budget could disappear altogether”. Around 2030, with warming at 1.5°C, and Arctic warming amplified to be three times the global average, the risk will grow substantially that Arctic carbon stores including permafrost29 and boreal forests30 will suffer significant, accelerating carbon losses. So there is no carbon budget for the Paris goal. See Climate Reality Check 2021 for the references supporting this argument. <<include [[Climate Reality Check 2021_Ref (2include) DB]]>>

Many factors contribute to the perceived and actual difficulty of taking effective climate rescue action: *//''Complexity''//[[(*)|Complexity_StratFrame]] *//''Sense of taboo''//[[(*)|Right action or safety_taboo or careful action_StratFrame]] – attached to restoring safe earth system conditions using methods other than emissions reduction/elimination *//Difficulty// compared to //''mainstream climate change action''// and the enormity of what needs to be done *//Difficulty// to change the //''current action paradigm''// (from current to climate rescue)[[(*)|Climate paradigms_PrinEtc]] - including the current lack of strong social reinforcement (sense of validity/legitimacy) and the current thinness of the climate rescue campaign support infrastructure The issues of complexity[[(*)|Complexity_StratFrame]] and the sense of taboo[[(*)|Right action or safety_taboo or careful action_StratFrame]] have been explored already. The inherent complexity of a climate rescue program is manageable through the application of complex program management methods. The difficulty of implementing a full climate rescue program seems objectively greater than "merely" implementating a conventional climate program (emissions reduction plus adaptation) because climate restoration action is needed in at least 6 additional domains[[(*)|Additional domains of action for earth system restoration_StratFrame]]. But in reality a climate rescue program is likely to be somewhat //''less''// difficult in total because total climate impacts will be considerably less and the total action required to handle climate impacts plus localised climate adaptation will be much less. Changing the current action paradigm (from conventional climate action to a climate rescue approach)[[(*)|Climate paradigms_PrinEtc]] is in fact likely to be the most difficult challenge we need to overcome. The conventional climate action approach has been built up over the last 40 years and so it is very familiar to most climate-engaged people and they derive their sense of efficacy from this familiarity. The challenge of building a new paradigm of action is to find initial cohorts of people who are motivated enough to want to develop a new approach and to then engage others in its application. The concept of paradigm shifts (and the difficulty of bringing them about) was introduced to the world in 1962 by Thomas Kuhn in his work on scientific revolutions[[(*)|The Structure of Scientific Revolutions_Ref BKG]]. The trigger of a change in paradigm is generally the discovery of one or more serious anomalies (gaps, contradictions, explanatory failures, etc.) that are important in the real world but that don't fit with the conventional ways of thinking. This can prompt highly motivated innovators to undertake the difficult work of creating a new explanatory or action framework that can make sense of what is already understood but that also can handle the anomalies. (more to come....... in a few days)

!!!Maximum protection for the climate vulnerable The core motivating goal of the Climate Rescue program is to deliver maximum protection[[|http://bit.ly/DeliveringMaximumProtection]] for the climate vulnerable – including those at risk over the next 20 years.

!!!Maze solving and bridge building Strategy and action planning need to be built out from two different points: from where one wants to end up and from where one is now. This is how we solve mazes (from the entry point and the exit point). Working back from the end point is often called backcasting. Forecasting starts from where one is. ‘Bridging’ between the destination and the starting point can be tackled also in a loosely analogous way to building a long physical bridge from one side. The bridge is built, in stages – out to the first pier, then out to the next and the next – but all the while knowing where the destination point is.

The preindustrial methane level was about 722 ppb (Wikipedia) and the February 2022 annual peak was 1908 ppb (NOAA) – a bit over a 2.5 times increase. https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends_ch4/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane

!!!Mobilising across political and social divides The climate is shared by every living thing and by every person regardless of their politics or identities so people should be mobilised across political and social divides to restore and maintain a naturally safe climate. Also in functioning democracies governments usually change every so often, so all political coalitions that could form governments will need to support climate rescue policies if implementation is to be maintained.

!!!Motivate volunteers with powerful campaign outcome The reward for volunteers is not money but the good feeling that comes from facilitating effective action. So even at the earliest stages of action, people will be more motivated if they can see how the action they are contributing to will unfold to reach a point of high impact in the word. Having a vision of a successful end state helps to create a psychological pull effect for actions needed earlier in the delivery process.

!!!Motivation (ethics and interests) Motivation is the “energy” that drives not-for-profit action. To maximise its chance of success a climate rescue program will need to find or trigger and mobilise strong and widespread motivation – and then help people to translate that motivation into effective action. Motivations arise from ethics and interests, and interests can be divided into enlightened and unenlightened self-interest. Action can be motivated by both avoidance of negative outcomes and the achievement of positive outcomes eg. the protection of the climate vulnerable (or not) and avoiding the Dubai-ification of the world[[(*)|Dubai-ification of the world_PrinEtc]]. A useful model of the psychology of motivations can be found in the work of Tory Higgins: *<<include [[Beyond pleasure and pain_How motivation works_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[Summary of Tory Higgins motivational psychology model_Ref (2include) DB]]>> See also: [[Right action or safety; taboo or careful action|Right action or safety_taboo or careful action_StratFrame]]

!!!Multi-tracking Concurrent action can be translated into multiple action tracks – which can have different characters eg. Case 1: *Track 1: Conventional climate campaigning *Track 2: Experimental (toe in the water) engagement with Climate Rescue campaigning Case 2: *Track 1: Conventional climate campaigning *Track 2: Climate Rescue campaigning Case 3: *Track 1: Conventional climate campaigning *Track 2: Bridging work to convert conventional campaigning to climate rescue campaigning *Track 3: Climate Rescue campaigning Case 4: *Track 1: Climate Rescue campaigning *Track 2: Innovation track to ramp up the effectiveness of Climate Rescue campaigning

!!!No major trade-offs Traditional thinking holds that when more than one objective is being pursued, not all of the objectives can be fully achieved. It is assumed that a major trade-off will be necessary. However, using a creative approach to problem solving or opportunity multiplying, especially where innovation over a period of time is possible, it is often possible to avoid trade-offs on the major issues altogether. To achieve such a result it may be necessary to accept trade-offs on less important questions.

Ocean acidification is caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide disolving in marine waters. Stricly it is not a climate issue, rather it has a related cause to global warming (ie. rising CO2 levels). There are feedbacks from climate change though, in that global warming can result in the release of more CO2 from natural carbon stores (soils, the permafrost, burned and damaged forests, etc.) nd that in turn adds to increased acidification.

!!!The organisational parts take responsibility for changing the whole When a major policy transformation is needed but there isn't strong leadership from the top, then the parts of the system need to take full responsibility for engaging the other parts of the system to drive the change process.

!!!Practical idealism Practical idealism combines approaches often seem as conflicting or contradictory - that is an equal commitment to both idealistic goals and their achievement in the real world.

!!!Ramping up The Climate Rescue program needs to build to a huge level of effect in the world, but has to start with virtually no initial resources. The program has to build its intellectual framework, methods, culture and capacity from a near zero base which will require extremely high levels of innovation and learning and capacity building. This will require a conscious and energetic ramping up process.

It would be easy to assume that at the heart of the concern about climate is a desire for safety and wellbeing. After all, most communication about why we should act on climate is contextualised in this way - we need to do 'x' to protect 'y' or we care about 'x', we need to do 'y'. But it is well known in psychology[[(*)|Psychology of motivation_PrinEtc]] and philosophy[[|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequentialism]] that humans can also be concerned about doing the 'right and proper thing' regardless of the consequences. There are good reasons why humans can be motivated in both ways, but if people are not aware of both motivations they can often get caught in thinking/action traps. In the face of uncertainty, high risk of action and temptation, people often construct taboos to prevent engagement with potentially dangerous behaviour. This is probably a very useful rule-of-thumb approach if the risks of //''action''// are high and the risks from //''inaction''// are low and there is not the time or resources to reduce the uncertainty. But if the risks arising from //''inaction''// are also very high, then the taboo approach can be problematic, even dangerous. It looks like we might be caught in a problem of this sort when considering whether to use fast cooling methods (eg. solar reflection or cirrus cloud thinning or other climate intervention that are often labelled as geoengineering). The best way to tackle this problem is probably to engage in active deliberation exploring 'right action' and/or safety and wellbeing, and taboo or careful action.

<<fav>> | <<return>> ---- !!!Safe climate restoration Given that climate impacts have already reached unacceptable levels, it is important to recognise that safe climate restoration should be part of a climate rescue program. That is, the aim should not be to stabilise the climate at the currently bad state or an even worse state. The aim should be to return the climate to a safe pre-global-warming climate that is optimal for the climate vulnerable.

!!!Social network switching and innovation diffusion – in the context of complexity <<include [[Social network switching & innovation diffusion with complexity (include) DB]]>>

It is usually easier to shift and stabilise the views and behaviours of people with social reinforcement in small social networks rather than large ones. Complex ideas need wide, strong bridges to move from person to person or from organisation to organisation. Climate Rescue ideas are generally so complex that they need the active involvement of fostering organisations and often case-by-case strategy to transfer from social network to social network or from organisation to organisation. And to trigger action most people will need to be engaged in supportive social networks or organisations. Spreading ideas in the absence of social reinforcement is not likely to be enough to trigger the needed change. *<<include [[How behaviour spreads_Ref (2include) DB]]>> *<<include [[Crossing the chasm_Ref (2include) DB]]>> Some of the most powerful methods for transmitting complex ideas from person to person are: *in depth one-to-one or very small group conversations *structured training programs.

(more to come on these topics below....... in a few days: *Greater intensity of motivation *Clearer, more complete and more honest logic *Much better outcomes if actions successful *Potentially strong recruitment possibilites (people & other resources) as awareness grows of the potential benefits of the climate rescue approach)

<<fav>> | <<return>> ---- A fast rate of restoring the temperature should be beneficial rather than harmful because the system is moving back into the zone that most people and other living things are adapted to.

!!!Speed – concurrent action The key to speed is increasing concurrent action as opposed to only sequential action. And capacity building and effective vision sharing/coordination are critical to maximising successful concurrency.

!!!Strategic optimism and tactical pessimism To be willing to //''take on''// worthwhile but difficult goals requires an attitude of strategic //''optimism''//. But to //''succeed''// with a difficult-to-achieve goal requires an attitude of tactical //''pessimism''// so that no risk or barrier is ignored and left unattended. A individual person can combine both strategic optimism and tactical pessimism.

>//Article 2 >1. This Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the Convention, including its objective, aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: >(a) Holding the increase in the global average temperature to ''well below 2°C'' above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to ''limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C'' above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change//

The climate vulnerable include people, other living things or environmental or social systems that are suffering now or face future impacts from extreme weather events (fires, floods, storms, heatwaves, droughts, coastal storm surges, ecosystem breakdown) and systematic changes such as in temperatures, sea-level rise and ocean acidity[[(*)|Ocean acidification not a climate issue_PrinEtc]]. Young people as a whole are among the climate vulnerable because their future lives face hugely intensified climate-change-induced impacts unless drastic action is taken now. People might care about the climate vulnerable for ethical reasons or because they include cultural or productive assets or life support systems or critical earth system elements.

With emissions-only action: •  the upwards warming trend will not stop for about 20 years[[(*)|Emissions only action will not stop warming trend for 20y_brief (2include) DB]]. •  the average earth temperature will likely reach +1.5°C by about 2030[[(*)|Likely to reach +1.5°C by about 2030_brief (2include) DB]] •  the average earth temperature will likely not drop below the present level for thousands of years.

There isn’t just one way to use the goals that we set ourselves. We can use them to: *//''paint a picture of who we are''// and how we see ourselves or how we want ourselves to be seen (this might be a private picture or often a public one in a world where identity and social media are major preoccupations); *//''indicate what we want ‘some of’''//; *//''point to a direction for change''//; *//''reset the debate/struggle''// in the direction of a bigger goal; *create an inspirational, tough challenge (//''stretch goal''//); *identify //''an ideal goal''// that clearly identifies a strongly preferred end state, or *set a //''literal concrete outcome''//, and perhaps deadline, for something that we want to fully achieve. There can be //''intermediate''// or //''deep''// goals. For an ‘//''identity''//’ (‘this is me’) goal, it may not be necessary to take any action to achieve the ostensible goal – the only necessary effort might be to associate ourselves with the goal. For ‘//''some of''//’ and ‘//''directional''//’ goals, modest action and modest achievement might be enough to satisfy us or others. An ‘//''ambit goal''//’ or ‘//''ambit claim''//’ involves making a large (sometimes exaggerated) demand expecting that the pressure for compromise will still lead to a better outcome than would have occurred otherwise. A ‘//''stretch''//’ goal is designed to encourage a major effort and a high level of achievement, but there is no expectation that goal will be fully achieved in an absolute sense (70% to 90% is probably good enough!) It is only with ‘//''literal''//’ goals that what we say we want is actually what we set out to achieve, in full. //''Ideal goals''// could be treated as either stretch goals or as literal goals. //''Intermediate''// goals are steps on the way to a //''deeper''// goal. It is tempting to think of some deep goals as //''ultimate''// or //''endstate''// goals, but by asking why a goal is being pursued, an even deeper goal can often be identified. Goals can be consciously held or they can be implicit/subconscious or emergent. Conscious goals are often publicly declared or, if not, can easily be discovered by asking the people who are taking actions. But unconscious, implicit or emergent goals are often just as important, but they can only be discovered by observing the patterns in behaviour and reverse engineering a goal that would logically give rise to those actions.

> //ARTICLE 2: OBJECTIVE: The ultimate objective of this Convention and any related legal instruments that the Conference of the Parties may adopt is to achieve, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Convention, stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.//

!!!Value & limits of the concept of 'natural'

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its long-time monitoring station at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, averaged 421 parts per million of carbon dioxide for the month of May 2022, which is when the crucial greenhouse gas hits its yearly high. NOAA said carbon dioxide levels are now about the same as 4.1 to 4.5 million years ago in the Pliocene era, when temperatures were 3.9C hotter and sea levels were 5 to 25 metres higher than now. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-04/carbon-dioxide-emissions-hold-firm/101126312

!!!Working across the political spectrum in democracies In democracies governments change from time to time. And for the health of the society and the democratic process they //''need''// to change from time to time. If an issue is important for essentially everyone then policy stability can only be assured if all the political coalitions that could form a government are committed to the policy in broad terms. (It would be crazy if alernating governments built and tore down the hospitals with each turn of the political cycle.) Some changes in policy do begin with one side of politics but end up being adopted eventually by all the coalitions that could form a future government. But the risk of driving a major change from only one side of politics is that a huge polarisation can develop that gets frozen into long lasting identity politics making stable implementation over a few cycles of government very difficult or unlikely. If a policy area needs to be dealt with decisively and with great urgency but it will inevitably take more than one election cycle then building support from all coalitions that could form a government could be vital This suggests that the idea of climate rescue needs to be promoted across the political spectrum. (The high emitting industries are already using this strategy for their own purposes.)
