These fall colors signal climate calamity … but a green startup has a beautiful fix
Thanks to climate change, California is starting to look like Vermont, Connecticut or New York in autumn — gorgeous landscapes of orange, brown, and red. But in California’s case, the trees won’t come back in the spring. The trees are dead. Their colors are signs of lifelessness.
That’s bad, but the worst may be yet to come. California’s dead trees (66 million and mounting) won’t just sit there. They will almost surely burn, when the air is dry and warm enough, releasing millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere.
See the eye-opening details in this story by Tim Price, in Medium:
The worst can be averted, however, by a new process that sequesters carbon while turning biomass into usable energy. It amounts to positive, preemptive burning.
See the green startup, All Power Labs, that is rolling out the technology.
The trend toward green-energy solutions is part of supertrend #4 and supertrend #6, two of six supertrends toward a much better future.
