Talk:Drawdown (climate)

Charlie Rose interview
Hawken was interviewed on the PBS program Charlie Rose in the summer of 2017. the video is on http://charlierose.com & reference to it should be added to this article. — Lentower (talk) 17:17, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

=Title= The title should be "Drawdown (climate book)" that better describes what the article is about I did not at first when on the disambiguation page think there was an article about the book based on the list.

= The number listed by Project drawdown is 102 not 100 = copy of deleted sub-page (copyedit has deleted the headings to incorporate)

Project Drawdown 102 is a sub-page of the Wikipedia article page Drawdown (climate) showing the indiscrepancy "100 solutions" stated by Project Drawdown (https://www.drawdown.org/) is infact 102 solutions listed. The indiscrepancy identified is true of 5 February 2020 (the day this page was created). Obviously the contents of the Project Drawdown page may change at any time.

verification of the statement "100"
Verification of the statement "100" is found at the following page, https://www.drawdown.org/learn (actual page), "view-source:https://www.drawdown.org/learn" (source page):

lines 384-390 (of the source page):

"The NCSE and Project Drawdown joint initiative seeks to:

 Make the solutions outlined in Drawdown more accessible to faculty and administrators in higher education. Translate the 100 solutions outlined in Drawdown into curriculum templates that can be used across disciplines on college and university campuses. Fit curriculum templates into existing courses or form the foundation of an entirely new course if a course related this initiative does not exist at a college or university campus. "

The quoted information is the same as the actual page, the bolded text is not shown at the original Project Drawdown page.

verification the number is actually 102
The following is a copy of the source page ("view-source:https://www.drawdown.org/") available as follows https://www.drawdown.org/ (click "View the Solutions") > right click the mouse anywhere on the page where the page shows only white (no text) > choose "View Source"

Naming logic
Is drawdown a standalone topic distinct from the project? If so, should we split them? If not, should the title of this page simply be Project Drawdown? Greenbound (talk) 00:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I second this opinion. On top of needing a massive tonal overhaul (this page reads like a page on Project Drawdown's website) and citations published by an entity other than Project Drawdown, this article really isn't especially relevant to the ecological/climatological concept of drawdown.
 * Also, was the term "drawdown" coined by Project Drawdown, or was it a preexisting term that they adopted? RedKnight7146 (talk) 01:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * there seems to be no mention of geothermal heating or energy source. Somewhere this should be discussed in the general category of a global plan to combat climate change. 172.103.198.194 (talk) 18:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I cannot find any sources beyond Project Drawdown talking about climate drawdown. As they don't have their own page on Wikipedia, I reckon this page should just be about Project Drawdown, and be edited in a better tone. EndTheWikiEditor (talk) 07:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
