This photo is from an opinion piece in the South China Morning Post by Andrew Sheng. While his opinion is that arresting the climatic crisis that will eventually end life on earth requires the ideas and input of those most affected, he doesn't indicate how these innovative thoughts are converted to effective action. Since it's a global problem, his premise that solutions must come from local societies is a logical error.
He mentions the work in this area of the World Economic Forum, a consortium of the business and government elite that have ostensibly created the situation and must now be authorized to fix it. No one really thinks that a village in central Africa with no electricity has any capability of halting fictional AGW. It's only possible, as its advocates say, by abolishing the nation-state and incorporating a world-wide authority with the physical power to enforce the decisions of an un-elected technocratic elite. We'll see if this comes to pass during the normal life span of its proponents.
