Faith in technology linked to less climate action among scientists
Original: Scientists who put faith in technology less likely to take climate action
Scientists who place strong faith in technological solutions to climate change are less likely to take personal or professional climate action, according to a new study reported by The Guardian. The findings suggest that belief in future fixes such as carbon capture or geoengineering may reduce the sense of urgency, with commentators debating whether techno-optimism risks undermining efforts to cut emissions now.
Why now: A new study reported by The Guardian challenges the assumption that technological optimism and climate engagement go hand in hand.
