Privately, many climate scientists believe it will be impossible to

not want to discourage moves to cut emissions.

Here is more and that is from The Guardian not National Review.  I believe that some parts of the world will be in for a very rough ride.

By the way, while I was in Japan I read that a) about half the world’s people are consuming subsidized energy, not taxed energy, and b) Chinese energy-users are typically paying about half of the world price.  Recent energy price increases in India have induced riots.  Those are all signs of the magnitude of the problem.
