Idea

Based on recent reporting 1, that the best thing you can do is talk about climate change, let's have a session to talk about how the dweb intersects with our thinking about climate mitigation, adaptation, or even minimally -- our awareness about the climate crisis

I know I missed the cutoff for sharing as a project, my plan is to carve out some space on Sunday morning and I wanted this up in advance as a place to point people to after the fact!

Hi. I'm interested in this too. Thanks for the follow up notes. IS this discussion going to continue evolving here, or elsewhere?
