> The first step in addressing global climate change is realizing that it's not the sort of problem that more tech or more capitalism The problem is that it seems more and more unlikely that anything will solve it aside from more tech. (I'll avoid the "capitalism" aspect as it's a fairly poorly defined term at least in it's common usage). The ability to coordinate globally on a problem of mutual concern for the common good might have been viable at some points in history but it seems to be impossible right now. That might change as things get worse but at that point it might be too late for anything other than drastic solutions. I can't see a way out other than "wait until it's awful and then throw a big chunk of the world's GDP at it" (or wait for a supervolcano to solve it for us)
