Uhh isn’t progressing to electric cars… science progressing to help solve the issue? What a strange train of thoughts.
I know someone who has a similar outlook (climate change is real but science will solve it, so we don't need to change anything). Basically anything science produces toward that end they will move the goalpost and say it's not worth pursuing because science will fix it.
It is essentially their way of making climate change denialism seem reasonable and open-minded. I think if somebody came up with a miracle device to magically reverse everything, they'd complain it's too costly at any price.
Yup. When/if we do find a way to dial back global warming, billionaires will be screaming for us to not use it because they've already found ways to make money off of people dying.
See: American healthcare system.
No. It isn't.
It's capitalism shifting their private transport scam from an energy source that they exploited the living crap out off to another that they haven't mismanaged into the ground yet.
What he thinks will happen is Tony Stark inventing a... Thing. And this Thing will make the climate better by doing... Stuff. And no one will have to change or do anything or even think about it because this Thing will do the Stuff for them.
Hello I'm "the Tony Stark" and I'm totally out of my element and overwhelmed
This is getting solved by the entire human species, not one dude
Would be cool if that were the case
No, its more like corporations moving to capitalize on peoples desire to affect change.
They help, but they don't solve the issue. They're a bandage for a gaping chest wound. It'll staunch the bleeding... a little, but it won't heal it.
Substitute religion out for technology and this is still meaningful
