SoS Journal Entries planned: ---------------------------------------------- The Consortium In 2025 a prodigy and 19-year-old  MIT graduate, Mr. Wong, began a mailing list / online forum called The Consortium.  The Consortium attempted to find the most promising avenues of reducing global warming.  In the first 6 months they narrowed their scope to: 1) Reducing global emissions 2) Increasing global sequestering of airborne carbon 3) Engineering "C-DIY" ways to combat overheating 4) Engineering "C-DIY" ways to combat food shortages arising due to extreme heat and crop death 5) Engineering "C-DIY" ways to conserve water Consortium Do It Yourself Projects Consortium - Do It Yourself Projects, or "C-DIY" for short, were Consortium solutions to particular global warming related problems with the following constraints including the reasons (as given by The Consortium): 1) no factories needed to be built.     this meant a preference for common materials

Story of Survival -- Content, Post 1

Welcome to my new blog about my new project: Story of Survival. The goal is to write a fictional series of journal entries from the viewpoint of a single scientist who is living through global warming.  The approximate year is 2050 and the scientist in question was born in the early 1980s. Topics of entries may include:      how countries dealt with lack of crops due to a changing climate     how countries reduced carbon emissions     how the world filtered out carbon dioxide from the air     how individuals around the world dealt with heat waves and how all of these thing were achieved through government and private-sector actions and resources. So feel free to subscribe and find out what brilliant ideas the future may hold!! -- Brian
