We need scientists and engineers on this now, not bloody just mealy-mouthed here-today gone-tomorrow politicians.
Yep number one by far. It's far too late now to stop a disaster but a good chance we can mitgate it a great deal if we really try. We need to pull out all the short terms stops while we develop, as fast as possible, the necessary science and tech for humanity to prosper.
Hard to see the political or public will to do anyhtiong but scratch at the hard choices. All eggs are in the science and tech basket which is a very good basket but a bit like developing vaccines without having social distancing/etc in the meantime (only far far worse than covid)
