Surviving Climate Change: What Would A Low Carbon Future Look Like?

In a previous post I argued that we need to change the way we talk about climate change in order to tackle it. Essentially, human beings are psychologically wired to respond to messages of positivity (gain) rather than negativity (loss), so instead of the doom and gloom narratives of climate disaster, we should be focusing on protecting our planet and spreading positive ideas of how we could turn the issue around.

What will a low-carbon future look like?

So, to practice what I preach, I want to create a vision of what a low carbon future would look like, once we get our act together and cut our carbon emissions, reducing global warming to a safe and manageable level.

I’m not claiming to depict exactly how a low-carbon society would work, but I will explore four key areas: energy, transportation, food, and technologies.
