ICYMI, which you probably did, because no one covered it: When Trump spoke in Davos last week, he promised to soon unveil a mystery "scientific breakthrough" to address climate change. (He didn't say "climate change," but that's clearly what he meant.)https://heated.world/p/trumps-magical-mystery-climate-solutions …

Trump is prob talking about climate restoration tech -- ie, tech to remove CO2 from the air, artificially thicken Arctic ice, etc. This is stuff many scientists say is necessary--but that polluting interests use to distract from emissions reductions.https://heated.world/p/trumps-magical-mystery-climate-solutions …

The climate tech Trump is likely referring to is also stuff that unequivocally fucks with nature. Hacks it, almost. Puts it under our control. A lot of people do not like that.https://heated.world/p/trumps-magical-mystery-climate-solutions …

Why would Trump even go through the trouble of promising such climate technology? Because many House Republicans are in danger of losing elections if they don't support some sort of climate policy. And they need the president's support on something.https://heated.world/p/trumps-magical-mystery-climate-solutions …

Crazy-sounding technology to artificially restore the environment is a perfect compromise for Republicans. It means they can say they're doing something on climate change, without having to support reducing emissions from fossil fuels, etc.https://heated.world/p/trumps-magical-mystery-climate-solutions …

how much do folks want to bet that Trump's "breakthrough climate solutions" are something along the lines of shooting all our garbage and sequestered carbon emissions into space using The Space Force for an extra budget of 40 trillion dollars
