I'm struck by his description of the committee writing and the immense energy/time it takes to get so many people and government representatives to agree on what to say. I appreciate his long description that makes the tedium and frazzled-ness very clear. Contrast that (and the slow pace of bureaucracy) with the sense of urgency felt by today's youth. Sometimes I feel hopeless, that we're dragging our feet too much and nothing will be accomplished until it's too late. Or, perhaps, today's youth will be able to change the pace of bureaucracy. I have to hope that will be the case.
Although the pace of the bureaucracy must be frustrating, I can see the value of such a robust process for getting the science right. But we've got the science now. I'm hoping we can get some urgency on action too.
