PS: I also highly recommend a podcast hosted by Adam Sobel (the author of this paper) which is called DeepConvection deep-convection.org and is available on some podcast platforms

"The users, or “stakeholders,” need not be national governments; they need not be governments at all. Thus, they are a much more diverse set of actors than those who have major roles in mitigation, and this diversity creates many more opportunities to do scientific research in support of adaptation"

"Adaptation, on the other hand, is local; unlike mitigation, it is different everywhere"

"It will not be solved by advances in climate science, both because existing science is already adequate to justify more action than seems likely, and because the actions under consideration by current (and likely future) political actors are guided by science only, at best, in the loosest way"

"It is clear today that the climate mitigation problem is a political one, meaning that it will be solved only by changes in leadership"
