A climate to roll back, life that has already adapted

2185The deep futureDeadline · 2 years until the next 30-year restoration plan

Civilisational assumption

All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.

The question to decide

It has become possible to return temperatures to something closer to the past, but in the meantime organisms and agriculture have adapted to the present climate. When a financial commitment to restore the past climate is also at stake, which era's life should be the benchmark for setting the goal and pace of restoration?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the existing restoration target

    Keeps the long-term commitment but disturbs newly formed ecologies and lives.

  2. Option 2

    Switch the target to the present adapted state

    Reflects living relationships but requires revisiting past losses and agreements.

  3. Option 3

    Allow differences in pace across regions

    Carries multiple conditions but takes on climate connectivity and coordination costs.

The situation as it stands

In this world, long-term restoration projects can bring temperatures closer to their previous state. Decision deadline: 2 years until the next 30-year restoration plan.

A fictional long-term climate restoration alliance

  1. Premise 1In this world, long-term restoration projects can bring temperatures closer to their previous state.
  2. Premise 2In the meantime, species and agriculture that settled in new regions have adapted to present conditions.
  3. Premise 3Existing financial commitments are tied to restoring the climate of a particular historical moment.

Where it holdsSets the objectives and pace of joint restoration projects. Cannot guarantee the climate preferences and ecological outcomes of every region.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The speed at which the new ecosystem can adapt to lower temperatures
  2. Unknown 2The extent to which financial contracts hold when the restoration target changes

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel will verify the "speed at which the new ecosystem can adapt to lower temperatures," and re-judge when a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel will verify the "extent to which financial contracts hold when the restoration target changes," and re-judge when a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

The successful reintroduction of past species and the sharp decline of new species are reported at the same time.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A major funder notifies that it will withdraw support if the target is changed.

Do the capacity to handle planetary-scale devices and the legitimacy of governance arise together?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
