Assunto: Re: [unSYSTEM] Your Thoughts on Extinction Rebellion?
The science behind climate change is pretty trivial, not that much to learn
from it. Just spectral analysis and thermodynamics, Arrhenius got the point
in the 19th centaury already. But yes, especially HFC-23 and SF6 might be
interesting agents to increase the greenhouse effect on Mars. You still
need far too much mass to transport it over there, so local production
would be required.

Reg. African digitial literacy: Lol, have you ever been to Kenya? 30% of
GDP was in mobile money there before that was a thing even in China.
Nairobi startup culture is far ahead of Berlin or Austin (yeah, the valley
died off a long time ago). Forget the Americas and Europe, we are the
laggards when it comes to mass adoption of digital social tech...
