I feel I should clarify as clearly this is an unpopular opinion: I’m not saying climate change can be solved by technology alone, but I do believe that enabling the societal changes needed to deal with climate change requires using every tool we have at our disposal and that includes technology. I don’t really see why this is controversial and would love to hear that perspective.
My perspective is that no technology can do much while the social problem is so intractable.
If somehow we could get past the social problem, technology will happen. Probably quickly, once we had some agreement that it was a thing worth doing. But until then the technology is largely moot.
