After several decades of listening to these chaps screech, usually before a big conference, that our very last chance to avoid extinction was nigh and the point of no return was tomorrow, we are now assured that <i>"Climate change is really important but we have a lot of the tools for dealing effectively with it - we just need to be smart about it."</i>. Sort of like saying the Four Horsemen are at the gates but technological innovation can solve it if we are clever and rise early. It would be interesting to know whether there is any correlation between this development and the fatigue of funding agencies.
