Strange to make a distinction between the two. Saving us from the effects of climate change is only a technology problem at this point, but it's hard and tedious and disincentivized because it's easier to make money right now in the consumer world or, even worse, in the world of quantitative finance and many good minds have drifted to those fields.

Saving us from the effects of climate change if we let it progress far would be a (very difficult) technology problem, but fighting climate change is an economic and political problem.
