And what is Painter wrong about?
There is no technological solution to climate change.
This is not because it’s impossible for us to invent something that would theoretically solve the problem–it’s because even if we did come up with some wunderkind technology that we could implement overnight and would reduce carbon emissions to 10% of their current level, the capitalists’ response to this would be to increase their industrial activity tenfold.
No seriously, ask yourself what happened to the last sixteen or so technologies which were supposed to save the world; sure, some of them flopped, but some succeeded and were implemented–and had fuck-all net impact because whenever you save resources under capitalism those resources just get exploited doing something else.
