Many people claim AI can help us solve climate change, so I decided to ask Google Gemini.
It regurgitated the same points climate advocates have made for for over 40 years:
- Transition to Renewable Energy
- Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Sustainable Agriculture and Land Use
- Climate-Resilient Cities and Infrastructure: Design cities to be more walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented
- International Cooperation and Policy
So there we have it folks.
If you’ve been waiting for an LLM to give you the list of things we need to do to solve climate change, then you now have the answer as regurgitated by an AI.
Now let’s get on with it.

The question you should ask is “how do we get people to give a shit enough to be slightly inconvenienced in order to stop destroying humanity’s future?”.
It’s hard ebough to convince people to eat plant based for a single say, or to offset a single car ride with their bike.
Yet we need the majority of people (and any corporations they run) to make a real effort, when they are too lazy, ignorant, uninterested, unmotivated, unwilling, too entitled, or narcissistic to take action.
@Showroom7561 I respectfully disagree.
If the infrastructure is in place, then the sustainable option becomes the default easiest option, no personal choice or sacrifice needed.
For example: If your local grid is powered by renewables + storage, then no personal choice or sacrifice is needed. It’s the default that comes out of the socket.
It’s only if the grid is powered by gas and coal that personal choice and sacrifices (saving up for solar panels, using less electricity) are needed.
Another example: If you live within walking distance of a modern metro or a frequent bus with dedicated lanes, where services run more than once every 10 mins, then no personal choice or sacrifice is needed. It’s the default option because it’s often faster than getting stuck in traffic and finding parking.
It’s only where services run once every 15 minutes or less that sacrifice is needed.
Same goes for cycling when there’s a good city-wide network of protected bike lanes vs mixed traffic.
Or travelling domestically by train when there’s high speed rail vs no or slow, infrequent rail.
Or walking to the shops when they’re within walking distance of your house vs 30 mins walk away with no good footpaths.
Have the right Infrastructure in place, anf no sacrifice is needed.
