As scientists, we’ve long studied climate change, and sought to understand its causes. Now, we must take the next step and seek out and implement solutions. As a technologist, I believe there is great potential for technology to make a major difference. New innovations can slow the impacts of warming, whether through stopping deforestation, preserving biodiversity, or ensuring there’s enough food to go around and food is not wasted. But there’s also opportunity to address some of the underlying causes and even begin to reverse—the damage we’ve done to our climate and our planet. The call to action is this: Instead of aiming to limit global warming temperature increase by 1 degree Celsius, we have to think about what we’d need to do to reduce temperatures by 1 degree Celsius. This is a vital aspect of Operation Earth.
