"Decades of scientific evidence demonstrate unequivocally that human activities
jeopardise life on Earth. Dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate
system compounds many other drivers of global change.

Governments concur: the science is settled. But governments have failed to act
at the scale and pace required. What should climate change scientists do?

There is an unwritten social contract between science and society. Public
investment in science is intended to improve understanding about our world and
support beneficial societal outcomes. However, for climate change, the
science-society contract is now broken."
