No. To Fight global warming* we must stop drilling oil and gas.
Fancy futuristic magic tech isn't going to save us.
This sounds like the flying-cars-solves-traffic BS: dark PR funded by the Fossil Fuel industry.

To your footnote, you're not wrong, but climate change is a better and more encompassing description for what people experience: more extreme weather, be it heat, cold, precipitation or drought. We can't feel an average temperature rise of 1.5 degrees, but I can certainly tell you that we just experienced the hottest summer peak temperatures on record.

So what if we can't stop drilling, or can't do that soon enough?
We're trying for quite some time already, we see some results of our attempts, it's probably a good question to ask.

Seems like climate change is a meme which deranges the adopters into thinking this kind of planetary alteration is good.
You interpret this article as saying this is good?
Your attitude reminds me of the religious fundamentalists I grew up with, who were still arguing about "evolutionism" and expressing skepticism over the idea of geological time as recently as the '80s and '90s.
You inferred too much
That's quite the scale.

I'm sensing a potential issue here...
