Do you mean complete denial of a problem existing when you say this?
- scarmig 6y agoEven the "good" politicians in the US and Europe are proposing solutions that are only solutions given the conservative estimates and assumptions; they're wildly insufficient for the broader range of realistic scenarios. A lot of this is political, of course: the calculation they're making is that if a policy is hard to pass when it's made to address the conservative models, policies that are appropriate for moderate and highly sensitive scenarios are nigh impossible, so right now it's best to focus on the conservative scenario and hope for the best.
