"Here’s an unpopular opinion in some circles: We are going to have to use
technology to adapt to the worst effects of climate change." ........
..... "Those who invest in climate adaptation technology
with the dream of scaling companies for massive returns will have to be
wary that they don’t worsen the social and political problems that
underlie so much of the climate conversation already: The rich spew
pollution, the poor are suffering as a result, and a fancy new tech solution might only be available to the rich polluters anyway.
But
that doesn’t mean tech can’t make a huge difference, or that adaptation
shouldn’t be done. The change is here, the need is real, and the
solutions can come from any entrepreneur, any investor, any scientists
or would-be startup CEO. It’s time for tech to get in the game. There’s
no more time to waste."
