I think, Mathieu raises the question why hard sci climate researchers don't speak up about the #EconomicSystem that keeps eating away at the #PlanetaryBoundaries of what human activities the planet can sustain and still maintain a global tech civilisation.
#ClimateChange is ofc only one of these boundaries. But the underlying problem to overstepping all of them is the economic system and its concepts that have perverted the cultural norms in G-North so much so that upholding the voluntarianisms, the laissez-faire [for the rich] is more important than keeping a habitable, global civilisation-sustaining environment. G-North is the villain here, bc it has imposed its system and culture everywhere, except North Korea. ^^
Hard-sci cli-sci are the go-to-people for all things climate.
I say, unfortunately, because they generally don't speak up about the systemic reasons for the physical extremes humans are pushing the planet into.

Some do. Like the late #WillSteffen
But it'd be the duty for all hard sci scientists to do so.
