The 2014 IPCC Assessment expresses doubt that the global surface temperature increase will remain within the 2 °C target without deploying risky carbon-capturing or solar radiation-deflecting technologies. New behavioural research suggests that, if the IPCC is right, citizens and policymakers will support such risk-taking.

"New behavioural research suggests that, if the IPCC is right, citizens and policymakers will support such risk-taking."
GR - Good news because at this late date, what's the less risky alternative? As effective emissions reduction continues to fail, will climate risks be reduced by chosing not to seek and research all of our intervention options and to deploy those that prove safe and cost-effective?
Anyway, article pay walled so don't know arguments made.
