Technological Optimism and the Unspoken Abandonment of Paris
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.

Climate is a gravity well for talent, but why don’t other, equally impactful topics attract talent in the same way?

A fact-based worldview for all | Gapminder
We live in a globalized world, not only in terms of trade and migration. More people than ever care about global development. But most people have severe misconceptions about contemporary global development. We know, because we have tested people’s knowledge. One of the main reasons for this is that students don’t learn to understand the world based on statistics and facts. Instead, we have a dramatic worldview formed by outdated school books and sensationalist news-stories. People intuitively believe that most things are getting worse. The dramatic worldview leads to irrational decisions by individuals, nonprofits, governments and business. For the first time in human history reliable statistics exist. There’s data for almost every aspect of global development. The data shows a very different picture: a world where most things improve; a world that is not divided; and a world where the fast population growth will soon be over. The world has never been less bad. But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.
