Climate change is as much a social problem as any. While I do think the constant focus on individual responsibility and small changes within domestic households is largely a misdirect to divert attention from real systemic & political/corporate causes of climate change, those large political/corporate entities are still ultimately sustained by societal behaviour; we would literally need to change everything (at the very least in the western world) to avert climate change, which is very much a social challenge.
> Climate change is a slow process
This may have been true in the 50s or 60s. It sounds like that's the last time you took an interest in this topic.
> Technology is fast enough to catch up with it and solve it
Is this satire?
> Automation is too(And my guess in the near future, it would be a much bigger problem)
People have been saying this since ancient Rome or before (see Vespasian), but it hasn't happened nor will it ever. This (unlike privacy) is a phantom problem.
