I bring up the negative feedbacks precisely because those are left out. If you leave out such a significant element of the climate, then your models will be completely wrong, and your solutions will be completely wrong. We won’t even know if we are facing an immediate crisis, a medium-term crisis, a long-term crisis, all of the above, or none of the above.

If we want real solutions, we need to stop having government funnel money to cronies, crowding out and diverting funds from projects that are far more likely to create solutions than are the projects of the politically powerful.
