We have a fair chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change if startups offer commercial solutions to decarbonize society or remove carbon from the atmosphere. At YC, we want to support more climate tech founders working on this once-in-a-generation opportunity. @gustaf

@ycombinator @gustaf If only the #Science Facts were told.. vs. a political narrative stuck in an echo chamber, void of Scientific research & layered correlations of hostorical #data. 👇🧵 for those that aren't in denial, just seeking reafirmation of their talking points.

@ycombinator @gustaf The first startup to provably do more for climate change than the collapse of the soviet union deserves an XPrize.

@ycombinator @gustaf This deserves appreciation. And it is a signal for founders that they may more easily get accepted by YC with their applications.

At Taptok we're contributing to the mitigation of climate change by providing digital networking solutions that significantly reduce the need for paper, thereby saving trees and reducing CO2 emissions. Our Eco-Impact feature quantifies the environmental savings of switching from traditional networking methods to digital ones, offering users a clear view of their personal contribution towards environmental sustainability. This approach not only helps in cutting down the carbon footprint associated with professional networking but also fosters a culture of ecological awareness within the Taptok community.

@ycombinator @gustaf Gustaf is an amazing YC partner for climate startups.

@ycombinator Plant more trees. Stop deforestation no need any fancy tech.

@ycombinator @gustaf The planet is in an ice age. It is too cold. 10 times more die from cold than from heat. First, end the ice age.

@ycombinator @gustaf Commercial solutions alone are vulnerable.

@ycombinator @gustaf Hi @gustaf last summer I had submitted an idea around tackling the "Heat Island Effects" in cities due to lack of trees. Idea was to reward users planting saplings & nurturing them into trees. Giving them tools & know how to increase pace of tree growth. Can we connect around it?

@ycombinator @gustaf we need to work hard on make green premium as low as possible

@ycombinator @gustaf ok . but we need nuclear for AI . so double standard ?

@ycombinator @paulg @gustaf Make more public transport, instead of selling more cars! Educate people to transform consumer society Electric engines are not the answer to the problem greenly.earth/en-us/blog/eco… Oh wait..but you can’t become a unicorn and make money from it.. Real hackers just lol from the post

@ycombinator @gustaf You don't need a startup for that. Trees already do it. Al Gore already made millions and millions off the carbon scam.
