Well, EU is convinced it's a real problem, but the only solution they are considering is to reduce emissions largely via degrowth.

OTOH to actually solve the problem we'd need geoengineering and cheap energy e.g. from fission.

Just spamming more solar does not help during winter, and EU solution seems to be "maybe you should just die".

Spamming solar in Sahara + DC cables to Europe still feels more realistic than fission. Not destabilising Libya would have helped ... whole another can of worms.

Geoengineering (depending on how it is done) is prime hubris. Are we sure we won't screw things even worse?

What's unrealistic about fission? France can do it. If best minds in Europe join forces they can figure how to do it even cheaper/safer/faster.

The missing part is political will. If anybody with unreasonable objection will be labeled enemy of the people it can be solved.
