They argue that the current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are insufficient and that a massive mobilization of scientific and technological resources is needed to radically transform our society.

French scientists call for 'the implementation of a Manhattan Project for environmental transition'

A group, including Nobel Prize-winning physicist Alain Aspect and biologist Eric Karsenti, argue for the creation of a research center linked to the industry sector, similar to the American investment to develop the first atomic bomb.

@haritulsidas I agree. We need to do Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to mitigate the already disastrous, and worsening, effects of #ClimateChange.

Despite the denial of #climate doomsters, we can still save our #civilization and #species despite the possibly irreversible damage we've done to the #environment.

Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population. We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused. Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
