«Getting serious about climate change requires wrangling about the cost of emissions goals, sharing the burdens and drawing up international funding mechanisms,» they add, so it makes sense to shift from a simple but esoteric measure of global - temperature change to a range of indicators to which larger numbers of people are likelier to relate — indicators the authors argue are thus likelier to spur policies that have a real climate - curbing impact.
