Spending billions and burning vast oceans of gas and coal to build the AI that solves climate change.
As the crops fail and the fires burn, humanity's nominated representative asks this new god what is to be done.

Surely there is nothing about "solving" climate change that needs more computing power or ideas. It's purely about the interaction of power structures and social realities.
Can we not?
