Yes, any high-tech barely tested solution rather than change our life-destroying habits please!
i mean, what's a more realistic solution? a small group that finds a high-tech development which can help us, or getting the majority of humanity to cooperate on what should be an obvious and necessary goal?
my bet's on the tech, at least with A.I. assisted research.
something has eroded my optimism towards the reliable and cooperative nature of our species. if we're putting our money on that, i consider us all doomed.
I don't care about high tech solutions, because we already have the solutions.
We figured out high density housing that still maintains greenspace in the 60s and the first commercial nuclear reactors started taking off in the 70s. Since then the last 50 years have basically just been fucking around as far as the climate is concerned.
Not only that, actively damaging the cause by forbidding or fighting against the very things that would help us kickstart the cleanup and pave the way
