It’s an energy problem, not a smarts problem.
Imagine the Hiroshima bomb.
How much energy that contains.
Now understand that, just from excess emissions alone, we are adding at least four of those nuclear explosions worth of energy into the atmosphere.
Per second.
That’s right, per second.
There is no solving this without technology that would be indistinguishable from magic, so not happening. We had our chance, capitalism won, and those at the top are hoarding and preparing for what’s coming next.

Remember that we have technology that 100 years ago would have been indistinguishable from magic.

That’s an assumption that math and physics doesn’t support.
There is no infinite well of technology and efficiency for us to draw from.
That’s not to say we can’t find things that will help a lot, we should, but they won’t save us.

I made a statement about the past. No assumptions we made.

You weren’t implying by saying that, that we could possibly have the magic technology to save ourselves 100 years from now? Sorry if I misunderstood.
