@Sheril thing is, this isn't enough from scientists.

Politicians need a menu of options. They need a cost benefit analysis. They need an accountable body with actual power. Not just a reporting agency.

Climate change mitigation will require the sacrifice of a generation's worth of wealth. No one is going to pay that sacrifice alone.
