I guess when they were trying to fill the EU chief scientific advisor position, no sane people were available: Anne Glover imagines a CO2-induced "absolutely horrible period of conflict and migration, until the world’s population started diminishing very rapidly"

Europe’s chief scientist warns against climate delays

BRUSSELS - The European Union cannot use the economic slowdown as an excuse to delay action on fighting climate change, the bloc’s first-ever chief scientific adviser has warned.
Molecular biologist Anne Glover took on the newly created role reporting to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso at the start of this year, having previously served as chief scientific adviser to Scotland’s devolved government.
...“It has been extremely disappointing to see many member states cut back on their emission reduction efforts because they say ‘we’re going through a recession’,” she said.
“Make no mistake, if we had unabated man-made climate change, we would go through an absolutely horrible period of conflict and migration, until the world’s population started diminishing very rapidly.”
