This may be naive, but I feel like we need to treat the climate crisis like it's wartime: spending tons on R&D, massive clean energy deployment and speedy nuclear plants.
For me, climate change is a societal tipping point that will either force us to adapt and change in a hurry or our damage to the planet will result in societal collapse. I read recently that 25,000 deaths in Europe this summer were attributed to extreme heat. It is completely ignored by the media and politicians.
