I’m not sure I understand point (1) in your last paragraph. ‘Mitigation’ with respect to climate usually refers to reducing CO2 emissions, so I don’t see how there could be a specific problem of ‘mitigating at higher temperatures’. Perhaps you mean adapting to higher temperatures?
I don’t think your point (2) hits home. The impacts literature that I have outlined and pasted above does look at specific temperatures. It looks at the most likely level of warming on RCP8.5.
In your paper you say that warming of >3 degrees is ‘severely neglected’. This is not true, and hasn’t been for years. If you had said >5 degrees that would have been true, but the claim is about >3 degrees.
That’s what I meant, sorry if I phrased this incorrectly.
I did not mean to say that they did not look at specific temperatures at all. I meant that they did not look at it in the amount the probability of the specific warming would make sensible.
Is your critique that we used “severly neglected”, but you would have been ok with “neglected”? Or is your model that the scientific community does the right amount of research for different temperatures, given the likelyhood of reaching these temperatures?
Ok, that makes sense on the Sherwood thing.
