This is one of those perspectives that feels wise but I quite disagree with. Consider Covid in Jan 2020. At that time, was it right to focus on (i) actual current realized harm, or (ii) hypotheticals based on projecting exponential functions? Clearly (ii).

Thank you for saying this. Climate change is somewhat similar in that the current harm is bad and rightly draws attention, but future harm will be catastrophic in comparison.

Curious for more of Vitalik's thoughts on climate change. Especially pieces of the solution like carbon removal from ambient air.

Climate scientists may "win" the prediction game but where are the levers to take action.

I admittedly know much less about world-of-atoms science than world-of-bits science, but climate change does feel like it has pretty severe tail-end risks. Carbon removal tech seems really cool, though I think the biggest gains will come from large-scale change toward solar power over the next couple of decades
