The basics of life are not evenly distributed around the world, so prosperity depends strongly on the ability to move goods quickly and cheaply. That’s how a seemingly obscure technology revolution dramatically reduced the risk of famines https://rethinkdisruption.com/shipping-container-ended-famines/

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is setting in motion a chain of feedback effects leading to a rapid escalation of global political instability. What few understand is the role of key technology disruptions in driving these processes and helping us solve them https://rethinkdisruption.com/russias-invasion-ukraine-food-riots-solution-precision-fermentation/
Source: Good Food Institute Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is about to set in motion a chain of feedback effects leading to a sudden, rapid escalation of global political instability. Various UN agencies, and now the IMF, have warned of social unrest at a similar scale to the ‘Arab Spring’ events in 2011. What few understand is the
Breakthrough Institute’s claim that solar, wind and batteries (SWB) won’t provide enough energy for poorer countries is deeply flawed – 100% SWB will provide clean energy superabundance by which lower-income countries can leapfrog the west https://rethinkdisruption.com/decarbonization-is-an-unprecedented-economic-opportunity-for-the-developing-world/ https://twitter.com/thebti/status/1511420160388833280
In their latest report, the IPCC recognizes that falling costs and the exponential adoptions of clean technologies like solar PV, wind, and batteries are advancing vastly faster than their scenarios predicted in 2014 (Section B.4 and Figure SPM.3)
