On 7 October 2026, The Guardian published an article titled Scientists who put faith in technology are less likely to take climate action. The article reported on a study by the London School of Economics, which surveyed more than 9,000 scientists across 115 countries about their views on whether technology will largely solve the problems caused by climate change. The findings suggested that scientists expressing greater faith in technological solutions were less likely to engage in civic action or make significant changes to their own lifestyles.
