The technical innovation that might help us avoid the climate crisis and extinction of species ....and this is not the usual stuff.
I have been following the climate crisis and other global threats to humankind since 2008. It has actually been quite depressing. If you remember then in 2008 the global threats that everybody was talking about were: - Peak Oil - Food crisis - Exponential growth of population - Global warming. The only one of those, that has been "solved" or actually postponed a little (by inventing economically viable fracking), is Peak Oil. Unfortunately, this postponing has made the problems of global warming and extinction of species now much worse.
