20 things to save the world. [Link]

In America, we aren’t thinking about climate change in any remotely serious way. Fortunately, some other people are. Specifically, those people over in Europe. Part of the process of thinking about it seriously is to acknowledge that we are facing catastrophe, and that we need to think in appropriately aggressive terms. To move the conversation in that direction, the Guardian has partnered with the Manchester International Festival to come up with a list of 20 ideas–ranging from a little crazy to forehead-slappingly simple–that “could save the world,” in the parlance of the contest. Many of them involve rethinking our energy or transportation infrastructure.
Under normal circumstances, we’d just link to the Guardian’s story and be done it with it. But, we’ll respectfully observe that the pages they’ve set up are a navigational nightmare, and it’s nearly impossible to figure out what the twenty ideas are without devoting a half hour to task. So, in order to help disseminate the ideas, we compiled an overview of humanity’s 20 best hopes of living out the 21st century without getting roasted alive.
