Many proposed climate solutions work well, and are ready to go *now*. Those are the ones to focus on.
Others will take more time to develop. They might help a little, someday.
And some don't make sense and are unlikely to work at all.
How do you tell the difference?

Climate solutions aren’t created equal. Here’s how we evaluate what works and what doesn’t.
Just as science has led the way in describing the problem of climate change, we at Project Drawdown are using science to guide resources toward the most effective solutions to the crisis.

So I guess the only way to avoid (potentially inaccurate) AI summaries is to not pay for the premium version of the ACM Digital Library. Or for those of us who have institutional access, to log out of our accounts.
Actually seems like a decent strategy since you can still access all the papers!

The goal of the pro-gunners is to discredit all discussion of gun safety proposals.
And with this rhetoric, they sidestep any serious policy debates and delegitimize their political foes.

Police surveil everyone driving in San Jose and search that data thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant. It’s an unchecked police power, an end run around the courts & a blatant privacy invasion, EFF’s Lisa Femia wrote for @MercuryNews.com. www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/06/...
Opinion: San Jose’s vast surveillance network is watching you. Be afraid.
The city’s license plate cameras are collecting revealing data that police nationwide are searching — all without warrants.
