This and similar breakthroughs are truly thrilling to read about. They’re demonstrations that human ingenuity is being applied to combat climate change - and there are few forces on earth more formidable than human ingenuity. The fight is on, and we can win.
(True, human ingenuity got us into this mess in the first place.)
