    He explained the perspective of ecomodernism quite well but failed to justify it.
    Not a single one of the grand problems that challenge other environmental philosophies have been dealt with by appealing to ecomodernism.
    Ecomodernism is being presented as utopic given that it’s the supposed solution to environmental crises as opposed to other theories even though most empirical evidence states the opposite.
    How does one deal with that reality. Treat the empirical evidence as temporary and promise that some time in the future the trend will completely reverse.
    I think that it takes less faith to believe in a bearded man in the sky than to take seriously the claims of ecomodernism.
    Not to mention that technology can still develop, livelihoods can still improve, lifespans can still increase whilst fundamentally rethinking our approach to nature. Hence Solarpunk.
