Or, the reviewer could just note that 30% of the research papers cited were written by two people and conclude that these are the new paper's authors.
If climate change is catastrophically serious, we need to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere and immediately switch from coal to nuclear
Even if we did that, it would still take several decades for it to have an impact. And we won't do that. If climate change is catastrophically serious, then geo-engineering would be the only effective solution. On the plus side, it is only 1/1000th as expensive as CO2-emission elimination.
When lives are at stake you mostly plan for the worst case scenario, unless you are a cynic of course.
The trouble is that doing what you suggest puts millions of lives at risk in itself. The third world already has severe energy-poverty problems without being burdened with more.

What??
A country's legal system doesn't have to lower itself to the level of the criminals it is punishing.
It happens to be *illegal* to kidnap and forcibly confine people. Since the legal system should not lower itself to the levels of criminals, it must therefore set all prisoners free!
