How to really solve the Climate Crisis ...

"I believe (this is) the solution that will save us. This addresses the root cause, which is clearly what we need."
         -- Robert Holden, climate scientist
Robert made the above comment on Youtube, after watching the 50 min video ...  "How to really solve climate change".
Below is the three minute trailer to the video.

Climate scientist finds the solution

 More recently Robert Holden interviewed Jim Rough to discover how this approach came into being, "Climate Scientist finds the solution"(1:18). Below is the 2.5 min trailer.

How does this solution approach ("holution") work? 

To solve the issue of climate change ... ALL the people must get involved, come together and build shared understandings about what's going on, what we need and what actions to pursue. ... And we need to work together to bring about the essential changes. ...  The social innovation, the Wisdom Council Process can applied globally to facilitate this. .  ... Good news: The Wisdom Council Process is safe and already proven to work at large scale.  ... More good news: Each step in setting up the global Wisdom Council Process is a benefit to society. ... More good news: Ordinary people can start this process. We don't need permission, just enough people who understand how it works (See the video seminar "Essential Wisdom for solving society's biggest problems") and enough resources. ... More good news: This process facilitates our System to transform itself to "Wise Democracy" such that many impossible-seeming problems start going away.

​More good news: The benefits are Over-the-Top good. [Don't get bored. These benefits are real!]
  1. Removing the blocks to existing solutions ... Many solution strategies already exist — e.g. new technologies, education efforts to make people aware, earth repair, carbon taxes, etc. But these are largely blocked by our System (e.g. how special interests undermine the public interest, the absence of global governance, partisan gridlock, the tragedy of the commons; etc.) Here's a way to remove the blocks, where "We the People" provide responsible leadership to governments, the economy, the cultures, etc.
  2. Generating a shared understanding of this and other issues  ... Here's a way to co-create a shared understanding of "truth", enough to overcome the alternative "facts" of various media silos.
  3. Overcoming corruption (money in politics) and partisan gridlock ... This process overcomes the dominance of special interests by facilitating the people to create a clear sense of the "public interest". Once we all co-discover what we all want, and a way to manage things toward achieving it, then the public will becomes more powerful than the special interests.
  4. Elevating collective consciousness ... Many people think that increased consciousness is the answer to this and other monster problems. But educating and transforming individuals is not enough. Collective consciousness is not achieved through the consciousness of a "critical mass" of people. Collective consciousness is achieved through high-level conversation of us all, where we achieve progress together. As a byproduct this drives individual consciousness among all.
  5. Adopting a new paradigm of "inter-being", where we value all aspects of life ...  A holistic perspective arises naturally from choice-creating, where people derive answers that work for all —people, species, generations, etc. 
  6. Healing racism, inequity and the mal-distribution of wealth ... Our current System is built on "decision-making", which is a cutting away of minority people, viewpoints, feelings, etc.. But this process adds the missing "choice-creating" conversation, a celebration of diversity.
  7. Inventing Breakthroughs ... Scientists are saying that it's too late for us to avoid many of the worst aspects of climate change. But we haven't started thinking yet. So far we've responded with a preprogrammed motivations driven by incentives that result in "collective stupidity". When we begin thinking collectively in the spirit of choice-creating. Breakthroughs can be expected.
  8. Sparking a new System ...  When all of us engage one another facing problems and seeking unity about what's going on, what we want and what to do ...  we are in a new system of thinking. This process facilitates a new entity, "We the People", to come into being and provide responsible leadership to governments. This is not only a new System of governance but economics and culture as well. It affects all problems.
  9. Providing a way to overhaul the subsystems of society ... e.g. housing, food, defense, education, healthcare, etc.
