  • One counterexample I would like to point out is the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare seems to have made that program another one of the 'third rail' policies alongside Social Security and Medicare

  • I think ocean iron fertilization has some promise to it, and it has the benefit of being able to be experimented with at a small scale and subsequently scaled up responsibly to measure effects. Aerosols are kind of a one and done solution, and if for any reason its suspended, their is a boomerang effect that drives warming even higher

  • Definitely a valid critique of Mondragon in the modern era, its commitment to the 10% ratio has atrophied somewhat. It's still something that ebbs and flows, for example there is a current push to transfer 35,000 non-member workers in their retail coop into full members (from a total of 50,000 workers). From numbers I've seen, 85% of employees are still members, which is pretty good.

  • There's this idea called World Systems theory, that divides the world into core and peripheral countries, with the core countries extracting resources (natural, financial, or labor) and sends pollution back. This is maintained by military and/or economic power. That's the framework where this would be considered colonial. Personally, I prefer the term neocolonial

  • Regarding irrigation, while it's not automation related, I enjoy Water for Every Farm: Yeomans Keyline Plan. In terms of charting and weather monitoring, I can share some different formulas and methods for calculating and tracking water budgets. I've written some R scripts to automate modeling water availability in my yard and can share how I did so if you're interested!

    Also, I write a blog about agriculture, landscapes, and sustainability, if you're interested!

  • That's awesome! What sorts of lessons have you learned in navigating that transition?

  • That's kind of what I was getting at, I think both have their strengths and weaknesses, and I think the discourse should reflect that.

  • Yeah, I think given current trajectories somewhere between RCP 3.4 and 4.5, with emissions peaking around 2050. Given technological and political headwinds, I just can't see emissions peaking in 2080 or 2100 with growth rates already slowing globally and peaking in North America and Europe
