I don’t understand the reason for these sorts of posts, or how technofixes help our predicament in any way, except for the potential to make it worse. Just say we keep the whole dog and pony show going for a few more years with one technofix and another cobbled onto the ones that came before. Then what? Technofixes haven't been working all that well for the environment lately, have they? We’ll still hit limits, only with more people, infrastructure and GDP than ever before.
How is providing more food for hundreds of millions of people while at the same time reducing the usage of fertilizers and pesticides a bad thing? Are people here so focused on doom death and destruction that they can't recognize a good thing when they see it?
If it wasn't for these "technofixes", you'd be drinking unsanitized water and not have indoor plumbing (among other things).
