Don't count on a techno-fix for climate change

“Continuing to profligately emit greenhouse gasses while counting on a technological fix – a silver bullet – to save us in the eleventh hour is like smoking three packs a day and counting on a cure for lung cancer to be there when we need it. It's magical thinking and a recipe for self-destruction.” — Albert Einstein
