HACC Group: Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media

This is the pad for the group "Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media" I left out workflow because it is a more general, administrative topic. If someone wants to add that topic, don't hesitate.

First: I think we should to find a better and shorter name for this group! Argument collection for naming discussion: https://pad.totalism.org/p/hacc-naming-discussion

The last version of our discussion can be found here: https://pad.totalism.org/p/hacc-2

Here are some proposals that were made during the last discussion and some additional ideas

Possible target audience:

   people that are affected by actions of HACC (e.g. visitors of future CCC events)

   deniers and sceptics

   pupils, teachers, students ("Chaos macht Schule"???)

   general public

   hackers

   media/journalists (classic media: tv, newspapers and/or "new" media, youtube channels or blogs, HACC as a service)

   scientists (some form of collaboration, HACCaaS)

   Works in both directions:

   Hackers to scientists: like luftdaten.info

   Scientists to hackers for PR work, visualization and so on...

   politicians

   members of the green and sustainable movement

   https://bits-und-baeume.org/

Topics:

   Explain basics of climate change

   Show how CO2 works as a heat trap with experiments

   Is it possible to show that certain CO2 is men made with simple experiments??? How to show isotopes of molecules and atoms with simple experiments???

   Show the current status in science

   Show the current status in politics

   Show the current status of development for replacing CO2 emitting systems and tools with non emitting ones

   Discuss pros and cons

   renewable energy

   wind ernergy systems

   the grid - electricity map (https://www.electricitymap.org )

   Connect well known and accepted knowledge and scientific facts to disputed climate change facts

   Tell positive naratives about what a change of behavior or energy sources can do

   Show and promote projects and topics concering the environment, clean air and so on...

   luftdaten.info

   https://hiveeyes.org/

   https://earth.nullschool.net/

   https://www.energy-charts.de/index.htm

   https://www.electricitymap.org

   ???

   Find a common ground with sceptics ???

   Decentralized and local renewable energy is something nationalists would want to be more independent of the world

   Conserving the environment will find some or even a lot of support in conservative/religious groups

   With "Laudato Si" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudato_si%27 ) we have the catholic church on our side

   It's true, further development on storage and control systems are necessary during the next years

   Also if climate change would only be a chinese hoax, fossil fuels are finite ressources 

Milestones

CCC events (congress, camp) Present results at assembly and/or talks:

   multiple video projectors

   animations and visualizations

   show experiments live or as a recording

   have factsheets or handouts

   create memes

   sticker

HACCaaS:

   Running a collaboration network/platform

Needed Activities:

   Collect typical arguments of

   sceptics and deniers

   people who are convinced that it's too late to act

   people who are convinced that the society won't change and we are doomed

   Develop or collect experiments

   Develop or collect visualizations

   Collect sources of information

   IPCC

   search the net

   different projects

   read scientific articles/papers

   Collaborate with scientists, journalists

   HACC as a Service

   Establish workflows, tools and infrastructure
