Trained as an anthropologist, former tech worker, now... who knows?

We know companies don't take climate change seriously. Here I imagine what it would look like once they are forced to.
What happens when climate chaos becomes an unignorable, physical threat to the business itself? When the things we can't imagine ending actually do?
