BEYOND CLIMATE CHANGE - EARTH RESTORATION
Survive and Thrive strategies will have greatly reduced CO2
emissions, pressure on ecosystems due to rainfall & river
flows being co-opted for human use and returned land to
ecosystems due to more efficient food production in climate-
controlled greenhouses enabling reforestation. However, this
does not directly address the geosphere physical environment
on which the biological environment is dependent.
The Revive strategy seeks to directly address settings within
the the physical environment of the global geosphere. That is,
with the Revive strategy our focus turns from climate-control
of internal environments in built structures to controlling or
moderating climate change in the external Earth environment.
The Earth restoration program consists of technology projects,
that only become possible with the increased productivity and
automation developed by the Thrive strategy, to both mitigate
climate change effects & reverse climate change by enhancing
and accelerating the natural geosphere climate processes, for
instance -
•
Ocean Energy & Climate via LaRosa’s tidal energy proposal
•
Cooling Coral Reefs via utilizing sea temperature variation
•
ANCR (Accelerated Natural Climate Recovery) to restore
CO2 balance while reducing ocean acidity.
In restoring Earth to a precious Eden in the vast emptiness of
space, human civilization will learn how to create and maintain
natural life support ecosystems essential for space settlement.

Biosphere City
Sustainable Biosphere City systems
measure all their inputs & outputs to
the external world, including natural
systems in their hinterland and are
fully aware of their impact on nature.
By increased recycling, urban food
production in climate-controlled
greenhouses and giving land and
water back to nature the impact of
cities on nature is reduced so that
cities can be in balance with nature.
When biosphere technology is the
norm, culture and government will
recognise the right of other species
to the planet as much as ours.
