why they are turning to scientists now

The cost of disasters, adapting, insurance issues and disruptions in supply chains start to weigh on the economy so it's not something that easily ignored anymore.

True, but that would also not solve the problem. The damage is done and getting worse.

I think we'd see some improvement if they ate shit and died.
