mini-THREAD on a new debate between @KevinClimate and myself in @nature's @NatureNV column on the role of integrated assessment models (IAMs) in #climate strategies which inform much of @IPCC_CH recommendations. #climatetwitter #energytwitter

.@KevinClimate argues IAMs accelerate climate policy failure by promoting technocratic solutions & detracting attention from necessary social change. I respond that IAMs are indispensable to analyse driving forces of climate change & the scale of transformations needed 2/3
Both technocratic and social solutions can be represented in IAMs, but whether it is more feasible to deploy massive negative emissions or to radically change lifestyles should be established by disciplines other than IAMs. 3/3
