I found them prescient
> In this case, there are 86 lead authors from 39 countries, of which 39% are female.
speaks to diversity, e.g. it's not just a bunch of white men from a thinktank in south Florida (born there, nothing against it)
> These researchers, who are unpaid, have reviewed the available scientific literature on the feasibility, impacts and costs of staying under 1.5C.
unpaid suggest impartiality and dedication, the rest specifies the scope of their work nicely, as opposed to very unspecificed term "climate change"
> "If one can imagine the governments holding the hands of the scientists, this means you don't know how science works!"
this is over the top but the point would be it's not a bunch of lobbyists writing the report on the behalf of politicians
