Rao examined multiple points in history where businesses and scientific experts worked together to overcome barriers and change society through innovation. However, he then declared Climate Change to be too big for those forces after the recent Volkswagen Scandal of rigging technology to misrepresent the fuel emissions. Seeing this deception as a threat to civilization, Rao suggested totalitarian options to fix the problem, eventually accepting international governance and reliance on bureaucrats to be "professional" in their job to save us from Climate Change.
