We give lots of lip service describing climate change as an emergency or existential threat. According to the Climate Emergency Declaration Organization, 2336 jurisdictions around the world have declared it to be an emergency, but we are not really acting like it. There are many possible emergency actions.

In particular, should we be preparing to deploy climate geoengineering technologies? Is it time to engineer the climate? Effective preventive action involves both cutting emissions and tackling other drivers of tipping events, such as deforestation or overfishing. So, what sort of urgent action does this mean?

According to a recent report of the International Energy Agency, we could see a near tripling in copper demand for solar panels, as well as big increases in demand for cadmium, tellurium, gallium, and lead, in different amounts and combinations depending on which technologies win out. Bottom line: if we use less energy, we use less land.
