Scientists relying on technology less likely to act on climate
Original: Scientists who put faith in technology less likely to take climate action https://www. theguardian.com/environment/20 26
New research covered by The Guardian finds that scientists who place strong faith in technological solutions to the climate crisis are less likely to take personal or professional climate action. The findings suggest that confidence in future innovations, such as carbon capture, may reduce the sense of urgency among researchers themselves, raising questions about how techno-optimism shapes climate engagement in the scientific community.
Why now: The finding challenges the common assumption that faith in technological fixes supports rather than undermines climate action.
