Glad to see they are moving their analyses in the right direction, thanks for the link Alistair.
They still have some way to go to wrap their heads around the money connection though, I think. It's a real problem for established academic researchers to have to point out the problems with profit - there is no-one willing to fund that research, I think, unless maybe a church or religious organisation, weirdly enough.
Until they can do that, they are unable to get the time frames right, because the temperature rise is directly related to profits made. All the projections of "Future investments" are way out, because they have to assume there will be value in money regardless of what happens meantime, whereas it looks to me like the more we move to solar whilst not changing the issue of money to reflect it, money has to lose all value because it is no longer representing the energy product of value.
I gave a numerical analysis of it in a couple of stories on the subject of Kardashev Money. I can't see established academics ever talking about that, but it would be great if they did :)
In essence, it's the business of profit tying us into extraction, even after we drop fossil fuels as stands.
