SOME SERIOUSLY COOL(ING) TECH
Stuff futurist Matthew Griffin reveals how technology can combat climate change
The future is set to be packed full of awesome things, from flying cars to holograms, through to fancy molecular assemblers and disease-hunting nanobots that’ll make you feel warm and fuzzy from the inside while also performing basic surgical procedures. And that’s before we discuss the arrival of biological computers and transparent gadgets.
All of this sounds great, of course, except for the fact that there’s a major problem brewing. Not the current global pandemic, the other one: climate change. And as things stand, unless we’re prepared to get used to an underwater existence while the planet above us burns to a crisp, we’d better come up with some solutions - and the sooner the better.
