There is, of course, a painfully obvious reason why IPCC-affiliated personnel think emissions reduction is the answer. For a long time I was puzzled by the fact that the climate change discussion is a package deal. Not only are we told there’s a problem, we’re being sold one particular solution. That didn’t feel right.

Now, it all makes sense. The IPCC’s chairman, remember, has declared that his organization’s “main customer” isn’t ordinary people – or even the governments of the world. Rather, the IPCC’s purpose is to support – ding, ding, ding – the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations.

Since the UNFCCC is an emissions treaty, of course the IPCC thinks emissions reduction represents the best response. Duh.
