are 'economically acceptable' presentations of diluted climate science and policy, confined by the veil of consensus, and used by governments of the global carbon economy to prevent meaningful policy on carbon budgets and emissions.

Read page 2 from David Wasdell’s - Critical Evaluation of the Summary for Policymakers for the IPCC AR5 WG1; though the whole critique (22 pages) is worth the read. Sorry I can not paste an excerpt, the PDF format prevents.

This article drafted from the same paper, also, illustrates the main thrust of the OP.
