Great post. I really like the survey of existing frameworks and then your own framework against that background. One area that is not on most people's climate radar is Oceans. Check out BlueMarineFoundation: bluemarinefoundation.com for a lot of information about this. The idea is that by letting the oceans recover, we automatically increase the world's largest carbon sink.

Thanks, Barney! I'm very interested in the possibilities of oceans, as well as other off-radar nature-based options like wetlands / peatlands. Thanks for the pointer to Blue Marine!

This is an excellent way to look at the scope of climate Jonathan, thank you for breaking down your insights into this digestible format. I agree, there are so many players trying to segment the problems and solutions, that it can get pretty murky when you're trying to figure out where you fit in, and how you might be able to affect change. I'm looking forward to the deeper dives into each of these topics. You certainly have your work cut out, thank you for taking it on and helping the rest of us make sense of it.
