IPCC has wildly implausible doomsday scenarios, but no wildly optimistic ones. That's how you know it's political.
Where's the scenario where we develop fusion and have -4 C by 2100?
Or even the one where we get 1/4 price nontoxic sodium batteries and it's cheaper to power every home with solar than just maintaining an electric grid? Roofing materials that reradiate heat at wavelengths not reflected back? Sonic solid-state heat pumps?
It's just crazy to think technology won't radically change the outcomes, but they don't mention technology at all except in delivering current tech to poor countries.
They're effectively professional Malthusian economists. "Everyone will run out of food, and starve to death in a generation at most. Total doom of the species. Why live, just to suffer? What do you mean, minor technological improvements disprove our entire thesis?! Stop making minor incremental improvements to processes and infrastructure, you're making me look a fool!"
