Technology and climate

Technology is both the primary driver of the climate crisis and among the most promising sources of its mitigation. This is not a contradiction — it is the character of powerful tools, which amplify whatever intention is behind them. Which direction technology goes on climate is not answered by the technology; it is answered by the decisions made around it.
