the story I've heard is that one of my employer's execs went to COP26, and was so distressed by the impression of world governments that they didn't need to do anything (in part because "tech will fix it") that they felt they personally needed to get our company to do everything possible to fix it

New paper with Donia Mahabadi and Max Burger in Nature Sustainability: Technological optimism among COP24 delegates is linked to support for less stringent climate policies. What does this mean for global #ClimateAction?

like, governments want so bad for tech to fix everything and at least some tech people are like "what the fuck are you thinking" but then have to go try anyway because what the fuck else can you do?
