Our friends at the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s Climate Action Campaign (CAC) have invited 350 Humboldt members to a fascinating online simulation of climate change and the potential effectiveness of climate activism work.

In this Zoom meeting this Sunday, December 13, 1 PM, John Schaefer will run participants through MIT’s En-Roads program which allows him to model various inputs to the climate.

John says “Everyone will have the chance to try policies like electrifying
buildings, reducing coal, or capturing carbon, among others. MIT
predicts a global temperature rise of 7.3 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100 for their business as usual outcome. Can we do better? For a preview, look at:

This will be the first item for HUUF’s monthly Climate Action meeting; you may leave after the presentation, or if you’d like, you may stay for the meeting.

On a different subject, if you’re interested in 350.org founder Bill McKibben’s thoughts on where we stand with the climate crisis, this essay was just published today in The New Yorker.
