    We need to research more aggressive climate solutions, and YC is ready to fund:http://carbon.ycombinator.com

        Basically, Climate change is as much a problem to be solved via technological interventions as much as about Behaviour Change for large numbers of people across the world. An integrated approach is required.

        Technology scales really well. How can you use technology to influence and incentivize behavioral change at a large scale?

        It's called a carbon tax and it actually doesn't require any technology, just functioning markets.

        Huge missed opportunity by failing to call this initiative YCarbonator.

        We can change our building materials (#hempcrete) so our houses and shelters can become carbon sinks. We hope you liked reading our app 😉!

        We can start by legalizing dense infill mixed use zoning to reduce our reliance on long car trips for everyday needs. Dense housing uses less gas and water per person and preserves more open Green space.

        "Risks: [...] The broad environmental release of genetically modified organisms raises concern from some folks". That is such an arrogant expression and completely fails to acknowledge the actual, hugely asymmetric, ergodic risks of such intervention. You can do better.

        The risk isn't that it might not work and you look silly! Potential outcomes include some at least as bad as climate breakdown. This isn't VC where your return is $0 or $1bn, you could also get "everyone dies, including those who though it was unwise".

        Project Drawdown identifies gender equality as one of the primary routes to effective climate action. When will the deep pockets start funding that?

        Check out CarbonTechLabs by @carbon_180 in Oakland. An accelerator solely for this purpose. Great opportunity to work together.

        It would be great if the tech could be solar powered, and work for decades without any maintenance. It should also not create any waste product during or at the end of its life. Bonus points if it looks good and smells nice... Oh, yeah... trees.
