The comments on previous posts are getting quite unweildy although I think there are some fruitful avenues to continue exploring.

I’ve been thinking about the Lisbon Postnormal Workshop on Reconciliation, which you can read about at Rabett, Climate Progress, Tamino and Deep Climate. What is the whole PNS project?
