Proposing "quantum social change" to address anthropogenic global warming?
At least the author is skeptical enough to write the following:

"To be sure, some might say that resorting to concepts from quantum physics
is at best pseudoscience, at worst a form of magical thinking — albeit an
understandable temptation in such desperate times."

An excerpt from article that might apply to the Moscow City Council, though
they are hardly the "elite:"

"The biggest threat to climate action today is not the industry-funded
deniers <https://www.desmog.com/climate-disinformation-database/> and
skeptics left over from the 1990s. It’s the elite business and political
leaders who advance incremental solutions to the most radical issue of our
time. They say we can’t move too quickly
<https://www.brookings.edu/essay/why-are-fossil-fuels-so-hard-to-quit/> lest
we disrupt the economic order and throw society into a tailspin. Only a
gradual phaseout of fossil fuels is realistic. And anyone who says otherwise
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/07/12/why-obamas-top-scientist-just-called-keeping-fossil-fuels-in-the-ground-unrealistic/>
is
idealistic or naive."
