In praise of climate tech investment
It has been pointed out many times that there is no single silver bullet which will solve the global climate crisis. After all, climate change and its impacts weren’t the result of a single cause, but of multiple overlapping and intersecting factors, many of which reinforce and complicate one another in unpredictable and sometimes dangerous ways. What we need more than anything is comprehensive engagement with the problem at all levels of society, with politicians, the news media, the business community, scientists, artists, activists, and ordinary citizens all involved.
