I know I missed the cutoff for sharing as a project, my plan is to carve out some space on Sunday morning and I wanted this up in advance as a place to point people to after the fact!

• climate imaginations
• and technical implementations
• scale of change
• role of hope
• cascading effects and non-linear futures

Narratives:

• Pleistocene Park in Russia
• Ecotopia
• Kim Stanley Robinson, New York 2140

Hi. I'm interested in this too. Thanks for the follow up notes. IS this discussion going to continue evolving here, or elsewhere?
