The Economist's OpenFuture essay contest is looking for your ideas on how the world should respond to climate change

Description: For decades the world has been aware that human activity is heating up the planet to dangerous levels, with potentially calamitous consequences. Despite efforts by government, business and individuals to curtail the trend, carbon emissions are still rising. Perhaps new thinking is needed, since previous attempts to deal with the problem have failed. So what might be done?of the competition.

Tell Africans to use condoms.

laurenthearthoe I think you should go for this

It should focus on real problems. Not climate change.

'if any' lol

How do you police the planet?

Changing our diet from animal to plant -based food can undoubtably do a lot of favour to the future well - being of humankind.

alllibertynews The liberal media has predicted environmental armageddon for 50 years and not a single prediction ever came true.

1. Vegan food to end hunger and replant the system follows a sustainable development goal perspective 2. Give tax incentives to world trade to fund the global distribution of food to all continents and tax companies that don’t participate to fund the initiative 3. Employ & do it

... the Dino were too dumb to save themselves; humans are too clever and are good at mental-masturbation , naval gazing and making it about themselves... almost time to reboot

Only homosapeins care (some don’t) about climate change due to our selfish need for survival! In reality, if we f***it up Mother Nature will take its course, wipe us out completely and reboot earth with instructions to micro organisms to build another dominant species!

get all facts n all scientists from all disciplines both for n against issue then go from there

You idots.

ramonlobo Th leader of a Spanish far right political party answered that question saying: I like the countryside.

Grow trees 🌳

Well this is a new idea . But it has to be implemented . Protecting the environment is the duty of every people living in these world . The idea is to revolutionize the education system all over the world . That is teaching about the environment to all the student of the world

No more nuclear weapons. And more vegeterian food! No more cars nir motorcycles, And more bikes!

Eat less meat, plant more trees, shun plastics, recycle, reuse, refuse, demand accountability from businessmen and leaders

We need so much corporation to do so...

Ditch the Combover and get real over greenhouse gasses by winding down the military industrial complex which, I believe, is the worst contributor to our planetary woes. Rick Haskett is LinkedIn!

Do what Bhutan is doing!

MiriamLeitaoCom As farsa do aquecimento global.

I would like to see employers giving priority (maybe even financial incentives?) to those applicants who can walk/cycle to work. Find a job near where you live!

Address to see which country’s need to regulate their emissions. It’s easy to see what’s going on in the United States because I love here. But what about India, China, and Russia? I know that those countries don’t regulate their emissions.

OMG!!! We’re all going to die because...the weather.

I will take my part as a researcher that contributes to cleaner, more energy efficient technologies and speak up for our species's sustainability. It's my turn to give something for this beloved species as a whole.

Nishtthayog the perfect remedy for this

We can tackle climate change by paying attention to the devil in minutest details. And this implies that we should learn to manage our life well ranging from water management, power management and so on.

Se requiere elevar el nivel de conciencia de cada persona y acción para cuidar el tesoro dado por Dios.

Plant lots of trees.

The world needs population control efforts. Too many carbon footprints.

Comoun sense no more no less

No, it's just a scam...

Stop eating meat!

Carpet bomb the third world with contraceptives. This is where the population growth is happening

Age descrimination, 16 to 25 years obviously are the only ones with enough wisdom to address this problem?

1. Be vegetarian 2. Plan more tree

I would vote Trump out of office

Follow the money and university grant trails to determine direction of climate change that has been occurring for millenniums.

By appreciate Mother Nature, life, OUR PLANET EARTH we know what to do to protect earth. There is still hope. By each of us taking action now instead of making our children paying for our debt.

I will continue to eat red meat and drive a gas guzzling truck.

This is all BS! The climate has changed thousands of times even before man existed! Now you want to blame normal weather pattern changes on man? This is nothing more that a democrat SCAM to fleece people of their $ and redistribute it, and control every aspect of peoples lives!

We CAN still save our planet earth by taking simple action.

Flooding super typhoon super hurricanes massive tornadoes storms dead coral all this we did this to ourselves now our future generations our children will suffer from what we did. For we didn’t do anything to protect our beautiful planet earth.

Education and voting for people who understand climate change.

Yes! Let's ask Joe Public! Brilliant!

Join our breakthrough communities that turn ideas into action. It's time to put the social community to work ...

Grow trees!

... all fake... you have been brainwashed...!

Thats the biggest lie of world. Only 2 % of COs is made by humans.

With a giant asteroid straight through the middle of the Earth. We've destroyed this planet we all deserve to be wiped out for it.

Plant a tree.

The same way past generations have done it, adjust and evolve!

A good start would be emulating countries that have already virtually eliminated fossil from electricity production.

RadhikaKulkar20

Plant more trees and use green energy for production

you tackle a ghost by first understanding its nothing then stop paying attention to nothing and focus on real things, it's called reality, try it

I plan on having solar power on the house/cottage I'll buy in coming years buy meanwhile reduce using plastic containers/cups..etc & use recycled shopping bags!

You spelt 'challenge' wrong. Its spelt S C A M! Idiots!

With a psychological examination for anyone who truly believes humans can control the weather.. It's a hoax..

Stop breedinf

How has fallen. Sigh.

Garbage. Lie. Fake. Get lost

By admitting that it is the Sun and volcanic activity that control climate change, and not mankind. Mt St. Helens did more damage to environment and climate than the entire age of steam did 100 yrs earlier. And it was a minor event compared to previous eruptions.

It's all about the money, who pays for the changes we have to make. We all do. The wealthy can hide on private islands far from the crowds, but what value is wealth without people. We all need each other to make things work. Respect is a key.

No it isn’t

Take every 'climate change' alarmist, private plan, limo, huge ass mansion away, and force them to live a greener life style. I'll start caring about climate change when those who advocate for it do.

Discontinue all climate science courses at universities and revoke funding for researches. That would end Climate Change quickly and cheaply.

Support tRump 👍👍

With a dictionary. Climate (measurement of the weather conditions of a region over 30 years). The highest temperatures historically (NASA) are around Jesus time (no industry at all) funny?

By not reading alarmist garbage articles. Man has this magazine gone down hill in the last decade.

The climate change challenge may get worse by the day especially in developing and underdeveloped countries, where there is no working institutions and the rich always have their ways even in doing harm to the environment. Government policies need to be focus on these issues.

Instead of trying to stop the inevitable, Id find ways to co-op with it. Human are very good at adapting.

Massive changes are upon us, the world needs the truth and the technologies that can take us forward released, and the population steered towards and through the changes needed, time to set capitalism aside and do what is right to achieve equilibrium

Ignore it because it doesn't exist.

First of all: FIRE TRUMP.

Give up the delusion that we can control climate change and start adapting to it. Evolutionary history is abundantly clear: when climate changes, a species either adapts or becomes extinct. We have a choice.

before everything Believe of Humanity can tackle climate change

This is nonsense. You just want to collect ideas so that you craft ways of blocking that change.

Not at all.

I blame vegans for eating all the plants 😏

Utter nonsense!

The greatest threat is Liberals lying about climate change. Just like they lie and say abortion is not murder or a person’s gender has nothing to do with biology. There’s no such thing as a truthful Liberal.

By any (humane) means necessary. Promoting renewables, planting trees, promoting lab grown and plant based meats, sustainable aquaculture and agriculture, reducing the sizes of militarized, developing energy storage+smart grid. Etc

WRONG! The greatest threat to mankind is and will always be socalist liberals openly allowing a rape-religion to set stronghold in Western Civilization. Absolutely terrifying how ignorant you can be. FakeNews ClimateHoax

alllibertynews Propaganda

Not with the Green New Deal, I'll tell ya that much.

We could save some power by shutting down your servers since you’re irrelevant now, Ecommunist.

Climate change is natural you losers, how do you think the last Ice Age ended? Where there any factories around back then, how about cars I don’t know cigarettes?

3rd and 4th gen nuclear power have already solved climate change. At this point it's only a matter of educating people that nuclear is safe.

By rejecting Neo(retro) Liberalism and return to government guided economies that compel local businesses and imported products to adopt socially and global beneficial policies.

I know two NGOs that plant trees in the third world for as little as 10 cents. I would give them 100 billion dollars, to plant a trillion trees. I would also teach cities the Miyawaki type urban forest.

I would adopt a policy that is not 100% dependent on regulation and balance the smart approaches. For instance... Encouraging plant based diets in in early childhood education perhaps even to early teens. Or giving carbon ratings to products and public site for analytics.

By Tackling Leftists! Oh wait that they do that to affect policy so I would do nothing and wait and see if and when the political climate changes, and then I would say just tax European and Chinese imports, Cause why not, the climate changed!

Lower birthrate to reduce human population over time. Stop immigration. Build cities upward, return suburbia back to agriculture. More public transport options, free as part of city living. Move toxic inanimate industry off world. Eat a more plant based diet. Explore the galaxy.

By leaving it alone. Climate always changes, and your evidence free assertion that mankind is changing it, doesn't negate that fact!

By telling everyone that it's bullshit.

Centuries ago there was no sign of climate change and the big reason was short amount of people, now billions of people and we seeing every day a new disaster. We build bombs and now no wars! Vanish all the bombs bring back axes and let people fight!

i alone would tackle it by going around and simply blowing up all the cars and then repurposing billions of calculator solar strips as sunbeam collectors only in san jose california, economist, if you must ask

LOL! Bogus Nonsense coz ClimateClowns are Shareholders in Geoengineering Co's

Support sustainable mobility. Take polluters off our roads!

Get the world bank to print so much money that every home in the third world had solar ? You do print it out of thin air right ?

Poverty is the biggest challenge.

BangkokDi Please consider hemp carbon fibre supercapacitors, will collaborate in this entry, if you’re interested, contact me.

It's the economy, stupid. Tax the economy which pollutes. Do NOT tax the sustainable economy.

Any economic or political change (besides outlawing engines and factories) by the West will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things.

Excellent n very comfortable alternative 🙏

LGBTQ acceptance among young people is on the decline: GLAAD surveyHmmmmmm........🤔 From my experience the young are the least tolerant generation. I see black people getting called coons and 'N*****' because they like Trump. I see people assume Mexicans are voting for the left because minorities don't get to have an opinion of their own. Young people ARE the most tolerant. My grandparents would shake there heads with disbelief with what is happening today. New sex terms daily. Gender fluidity. Non binary etc. they would have no clue

‘Erosion in acceptance’ of LGBTQ people among young Americans, survey findsGLAAD survey finds that people ages 18-34 are increasingly uncomfortable in “personal scenarios” with LGBTQ people — like learning that a family member, doctor or child’s teacher is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
