Guess what’s missing
MIT’s Climate CoLab has been crowd-sourcing solutions to climate change for four years now. An initiative of the MIT Center For Collective Intelligence, the platform has received thousands of ideas over that time, from the solidly practical to the downright weird (we covered a few here). The 2014 class is no different. Across 18 contests, CoLab received 600 proposals in all, from this plan to harness the power of lightning to this concept ship that powers itself by rocking side-to-side on the waves. Judges shortened the list to 64, before the public voted for 34 winners. Below are a few of our favorites
Carbon labeling
Voicemails from the future
Carbon currency
Food bikes
Climate CoLab will announce a winner in November. See the rest of the finalists here.
Here’s one of my favorites
Settle the carbon debt and release the power of example! /  jan-k
I suggest how to leave the dispute about historical responsibility for climate change behind and unleash the power of example.
Shouldn’t that be The Power Of Example? Oh, hey, I know what the power of example should be. Can you guess?
What’s Happening i am new to this, I stumbled upon this
I have discovered It absolutely helpful and it has helped me out loads.
I hope to give a contribution & aid different users like
its aided me. Good job.
I have a solution to solve climate change so that no one ever has to worry about it again. All we need is seven people to each eat an apple, and climate change will continue to be the non-problem it always has been.
UPDATE – 7 people have eaten an apple since I started typing this. Problem solved! AGW is no longer a problem or an issue worth discussing.
You are welcome.
