> Any solution to climate change will take decades to implement. There is no turning this around quickly.

Certainly.

But your assertion was it's "Better to work on solutions, like fusion power and battery technology for electric transport" than follow the alternatives of "legal action and eco terrorism".

Are you really arguing we should do nothing until technology solves things for us?

If so, that sounds like the "Parable of the drowning man" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_drowning_man - your faith in unproven future technology seems indistinguishable from prayers.



No, I am saying you should not be hoping someone else fixes the problem but that you join in and be a part of the solution.

Helping develop fusion power and battery technology are just two examples. You could become a wind turbine technician as another example(if you think wind power is good for the environment).


"legal action" does not mean "hoping someone else fixes the problem".

Nor, for that matter, is so-called "eco terrorism."

Why aren't both part of the solution?

> are just two examples

I wrote "until technology solves things for us" to include the wider range of possibilities you mean, rather than two limited examples.
