New idea: Nuclear hoarding. Collecting of all nuclear particles to limit its ability to be used. (not sure if this falls under a larger “worldwide risk prevention authority”, but it doesn’t have to be carried out willingly, it can be carried out via capitalism. Just purchase and contain the material.)
New idea: to limit climate change. tree-planting. plant massive numbers of green species in order to reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. Australia is a large land mass that is unused and could be utilised to grow the oxygen farm and carbon capture we need to keep the planet from melting. (there are still problems with water and arable land, but that is a problem that slowly solves itself as more plants are grown)
New idea: be first. develop defensive biotechnology/nanotechnology systems before destructive ones exist. rather than catering to them as they appear.
New idea: solve x-risk threat the same way we solve tragedy of the commons. Bind those involved to consequences. But this time use personal consequences. i.e. the individuals responsible, their families and their genetics will be put to death by a global army if they cause x-damage. effectively dis-incentivising starting a war that leads to anything short of total planetary destruction because there are personal repercussions of doing so.
new idea: ozone repair drones. Robots to improve the ozone layer so that it does not receive damage from co2 as harshly. improving our chances of keeping the planet cool.
new idea: rain-drones, weather control technologies to decrease the damage of adverse weather and improve our control over it and reduce the damage caused by climate change.
new idea: create a second moon (or synthetic planet) and second-moon colony. either by capturing an asteroid; or by sending mass from earth to become a floating body.
new idea: push mars into a more habitable solar orbit and terraform.
If you mean nuclear materials by “particles” , it is practically impossible because uranium is dissolved in sea water and could by mined. Also it requires world goverment with high power.
I already added CO2 capture. It could also be plankton.
It is in practice the Bostrom’s idea of differential technology development.
They will be already punished by x-risks catastrophe: they will die and their families also. If they don’t want to think about it; they will not take punishment seriously. But may му we could punish people only for a rising risk or not preventing it enough. It is like a law which punish people for inadvertency or neglect. I will think about it. The R.B. idea is about it in fact.
Ozon is about UV, not cooling. But nanobots could become part of geoingineering later. I don’t go in detail about all possible ways of geoingineering in the map.
Mostly the same.
Not clear wht new moon would be any better than real Moon or Internatinal space station.
Terraforming planets in the map is the same as making Mars habitable, and also moving Mars is risky and require dangerous technologies.
The most interesting idea which I derived from here is the idea to write international law about x-risks which will punish people for rising risk: underestimating it, plotting it, risk neglect, as well as reward people for lowering x-risks, finding new risks, and for efforts in their prevention. I would like to reward you 1 prize for it, pm me.
n4. Xrisk is not always risky to the developer: the Atomic bomb creators did not feel the effects of their weapons personally. in this way an x-risk can be catastrophic but not personally of consequence. I was suggesting something to overcome this predicament. Where one goverment might commission a scientist to design a bioweapon to be released on another country and offer to defend/immunise the creators.
Its a commons-binding contract that discourages the individual. it only takes one. which is the challenge of humans taking x-risky actions, it is not always of direct consequence to the individual (or it may not feel that way to the individual)
n5. radiation from space that we are not currently accustomed to or protected from would be an x-risk to the biological population.
n7. as a way to increase the number of colonies nearby, creating another moon that is close to earth might be easier and cheaper and more viable than mars. Although I might be completely wrong and mars might be easier. really depends on how much inter-colony travel there will likely be.
n1. I meant—buy up supply of nuclear material, push the price above viable for a long time, therefore discouraging the development of surrounding technology.
I got your idea: I think it should be covered in x-risk law. Something like Article 1: Any one, who consciously or unconsciously is rising x-risks will go to jail.
Ozone level depletion is not proved to be extinction level event, but is really nasty thing anyway. It could be solved without nanobots, by injecting right chemicals.
NASA is planning to attract small asteroid so it may work, but can’t be main solution. May be useful step.
Market forces will rise uranium supply.
You don’t need a lot of uranium if you are going to enrich it in centrifuges.
If you are really going to limit supply, its better to try to buy all the best scientists in field. US in 90s were buying Russian scientists who worked previously on secret biological weapons.
The other advantage of forcing people to use a limited supply of radioactive material in a reaction would be enhanced safety of doing so as well. (in the case of a failure there will be less total material to account for)
