Ask HN: Should Technological Means of Fighting Global Warming Be a Priority?
As in, carbon dioxide filtering, making humans more able to survive higher temperatures/worse conditions, engineering cities and stuff for rising sea levels, etc?
Because as much as people talk about changing habits, I strongly doubt it's possible to change society's behaviour enough to 'fix' anything about now. Trying to restrict meat consumption od discourage upcoming countries from following US/European consumerism patterns or asking people to limit driving would probably go down about as well as a lead balloon, and any party that tried to go any further would be rendered irrelevant in elections for the next four decades or so.
Just feels like technology is the only practical way to solve anything here, given how hard any alternatives would be.
