  • This century is already witnessing the beginning of the coming planet-wide ecological catastrophe/collapse. It’s going to get much worse before it gets better, not to mention the geopolitical ramifications of it all with unprecedented waves of climate refugees just as one example.

    I don’t really expect Solarpunk fiction to be the major catalyst for changing people’s minds. Sadly, I just expect that things will start getting so bad in certain areas that dealing with these issues will be unavoidable for survival reasons. I wish we could, as a civilization, be more proactive instead of reactive, but unfortunately…

    Anyway, even if, for argument’s sake, a truly “Solarpunk” Earth is unattainable for whatever reason(s), we still have no choice. We have no choice but to work towards it and shoot for something that isn’t a total dystopian vision of the future.
