Four fronts for climate policy

“For decades, scientists and policymakers have framed the climate-policy debate in a simple way: scientists analyse long-term goals, and policymakers pretend to honour them. Those days are over. Serious climate policy must focus more on the near-term and on feasibility.” – Y. Xu, V. Ramanathan, D. Victor
On twitter, Joe Duarte drew my attention to an editorial published in
Nature: Global warming will happen faster than we think.
No surprise that the article sounds the ‘alarm’, accelerated warming, speeding freight train, and all that.
Towards the end of the article, the authors make some very astute recommendations regarding climate policy, which is reproduced in its entirety:
Four Fronts
“Scientists and policymakers must rethink their roles, objectives and approaches on four fronts.

On this Schadenfreude Tuesday, your link reminds me of the exciting opportunities to enlighten the public about subterranean issues in climate through creation by our leader of this new Commission. I look forward to the MSM being forced to write about the following:
Debate about the MWP and LIA
Polar bears appear to be thriving
Great Lakes are not evaporating to oblivion
Previous warm periods in the Arctic
Geothermal activity in Greenland and Antarctica affecting Ice Sheets
Geothermal activity in Greenland and Antarctica affecting surrounding waters and marine terminating glaciers
UHI, Time of Observation
Land use Changes affecting temperatures
Subsidence at rates multiples of SLR
No upward trend in cyclonic activity
California droughts of 1000 years ago
Forest Mismanagement role in forest fire tragedies
Poor spatial coverage for global temperatures in the past
Cooling trends during modern global warming
AMO, NAO, PDO, AO, ENSO and Southern Annualar Mode
Glacial Isostatic Adjustments
Temperature adjustments
Canvas buckets
Lack of rigorous quality control standards in historical temperatures
Hundreds of papers on solar impacts on climate
Hundreds of citations on the non-existent hiatus
Up to 100,000 seamounts
Land storage contribution to SLR
60 years cycle affecting SLR
Geothermal affecting abyssal waters circulation
Seesaw relationship in polar sea ice extent
Glaciers retreating in 1800s
Actual floods before 1950
Abysmal knowledge of abyssal waters pre Argo
Geological uplift in Antarctica
EPA Heatwave Index
Exciting times
