Attended a climate event a few years ago hosted by a news outlet of note™️ where ≈70% of speakers were VC-billionaire types. Their nonsense tech solutions stood to make them $$ & maintain status quo, unlike paying your damn taxes, switching to renewables/cutting FF use. Zero pushback from moderators

A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action.
