Climate change is a political problem, not a technology problem.
The technology to move beyond fossil fuels has existed since the 1950s. No new inventions are required. If our leaders decided today to migrate primary energy to nuclear power climate change would be "solved" within 20 years.

I think this is inaccurate for several reasons 1. it takes human and financial resources to build a nuclear power plants, which most countries don't have 2. using the current technologies, uranium would quickly become a limiting factor 3. developing new technologies take times. 4. electricity is only a small part of the emissions of CO2 > Climate change is a political problem Yes, this comes from the perpetual growth ideology.
