Why You Shouldn't Work on Climate Change

Europeans and many Americans agree that climate change is one of the most important issues of the 21st century. There are therefore many opportunities to work on the issue in government, business and academia. Not much research is focused on how climate change interacts with other potentially catastrophic risks. And working on clean energy tech also seems neglected relative to its importance for solving the problem. Though, it still gets a lot of resources. Your work might have positive side effects - reducing our reliance on burning fuels might also reduce air pollution.
