I make my living building scientific Instruments – at the interface between the business and science worlds:

The build-up of CO2…. and other greenhouse gasses … is my major concern for the long term lives of my children [also see 1]…. rather than terrorism, or minor local & current matters such as BREXIT. Coming from the science rather than arts world, it it behoven to people like me to help with technical solutions.   I do not hold the view that is politically possible to either cut the Earth’s population to a fraction of its current level or to reduce everyone’s living standards to a fraction of current levels – to get CO2 emissions down. So, if we can’t get off fossil fuels shortly, we may need some form of Geo-engineering [2]

Inter alia, the businesses I try to run make instruments to measure both the weather and the climate from space. Accurate measurements, which are hard to dispute, are vital for policy-makers. Thomas Keating Ltd is engaged in making the next generation of weather satellites, which have the ability to measure global atmospheric temperatures to minute fractions of a degree.
