# Revised Tree of Thought Template

## Problem Identification
- **Problem:** Clearly define the problem or decision that needs to be addressed.

## Idea Generation and Processing
- **Preparation:**
  - Define the context and constraints of the problem.
  - Generate probable ideas for addressing the problem.
    1. example idea
    2. example idea
    3. example idea
    ...
- **Batch Processing:**
  - For each idea:
    - **Initial Evaluation:** Annotate the idea based on requirements, benefits, and feasibility.
  - **End of Batch Processing:** Once all ideas have been initially evaluated.

## Idea Collection and Transformation
- Collect all processed ideas.
- For each idea:
  - **Transformation:** Provide a holistic review taking into consideration all annotations and modify the ideas for any new insights as deemed appropriate..
  - This step may involve refining, combining, or significantly altering the original ideas.

## Idea Evaluation and Ranking
- Evaluate the transformed ideas based on more comprehensive criteria (feasibility, cost, impact, etc.).
- Rank the ideas based on their evaluation.

## Selection
- **Choice:** Choose the best idea based on the ranking and its alignment with the goals or objectives.
- **Rationale:** Provide a rationale for the selection.

## Implementation Plan (Optional)
- Outline the steps for implementing the chosen idea.
- **Provide Solution:** Detail the proposed solution.
- Outline the expected results.

## Review and Feedback
- **Post-Implementation:** After implementation, review the outcome against expectations.
- **Feedback Gathering:** Gather feedback to inform future decision-making processes.

How can we solve global warming?

Addressing global warming is a complex and multifaceted challenge. Applying the Revised Tree of Thought template, we can structure our approach as follows:

Problem Identification
Problem: Global warming, characterized by rising average temperatures of Earth's atmosphere and oceans, leading to climatic changes.
Idea Generation and Processing
Preparation:
Context and Constraints: Limited global cooperation, economic considerations, and technological limits.
Ideas Generation:
Implement renewable energy sources worldwide.
Enhance global carbon capture and storage technology.
Implement strict emissions regulations globally.
...
Batch Processing:
Idea 1 Evaluation: Renewable energy is sustainable but requires significant investment and infrastructure changes.
Idea 2 Evaluation: Carbon capture is promising but currently expensive and in early stages of development.
Idea 3 Evaluation: Regulations can be effective but require global political will and cooperation.
End of Batch Processing
Idea Collection and Transformation
Transformation of Ideas:
Combine renewable energy implementation with gradual phase-out of fossil fuels.
Develop a global fund to invest in carbon capture technologies.
Formulate a global emissions treaty with incentives for compliance and penalties for non-compliance.
Idea Evaluation and Ranking
Evaluation:
Combined renewable energy and fossil fuel phase-out: High impact but challenging in terms of global cooperation and investment.
Global investment in carbon capture: Medium impact, technologically dependent, high cost.
Global emissions treaty: High potential impact, relies heavily on political will.
Ranking: Based on feasibility and impact, the combined renewable energy approach might rank highest.
Selection
Choice: Implement renewable energy sources worldwide in conjunction with a fossil fuel phase-out plan.
Rationale: This approach addresses the root cause of global warming and offers a sustainable long-term solution.
Implementation Plan
Develop international agreements for renewable energy targets.
Create incentives for renewable energy investment.
Gradually increase taxes and restrictions on fossil fuel usage.
Expected results include reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a shift to sustainable energy sources.
Review and Feedback
Post-Implementation: Monitor global temperature trends, greenhouse gas levels, and renewable energy adoption rates.
Feedback Gathering: Engage with international communities, governments, and environmental groups to continuously refine and improve strategies.
