My favorite IFTF Foresight tool is called “Headline the Future”.
It’s a way to provoke questions and ideas about a future scenario. Start by imagining the front cover of a newspaper or a magazine in a future scenario, and see what ideas it sparks. Here’s some examples:
May 3rd, 2050 (NYTimes): Now that we’ve solved climate change, what’s next?
June 25th, 2030 (WIRED Magazine): 60% of Harvard Graduating Class Are ‘Air Miners’
December 31st, 2099 (USA Today): Atmospheric CO2 Drops Below 100ppm, Oh S***!
Now you try it! Here’s the 3 steps:
1. Date (i.e. May 3rd, 2050; June 25th, 2030)
2. Publication (i.e. NYTimes, WIRED, YouTube)
3. Headline (5 - 10 words)

I write this weekly newsletter highlighting my journey, sharing everything you should know about opportunities in the new carbon economy.
Every week you’ll get insider information on what’s possible in the cutting edge of negative emissions through my personal journey creating an air mining company, and share lessons learned.
My newsletter is the best way to follow what I'm up to.
