This ambition is also reflected in the methodologies for mitigation,  “decisions about which scientific research projects deserve funding are often shaped…by political context. Some  the development of clean energy technologies or infrastructure design projects, while perceiving little use for studies of behavioral change, politics, and policy design” (Burch 9). The technologies and the projects that are created to reduce climate change are mechanisms to make money. In accordance to the cost-benefit analysis, by placing preference in scientific research projects that produce these aforementioned technologies and projects, not only are the governments reducing carbon dioxide emissions, they are also simultaneously capitalizing on them. Moreover, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) the most recent report (and the one that is relevant to the rhetorical context of the protest of interest) for the first time mentions the importance of urbanization and spatial planning for mitigation (Birch 184). Again, the international focus is on solutions that generate money – urbanization and city planning tends to be economically beneficial in the long term – but also impact the increasing green house gas quandary.


Characters:  Ambition of economically solving climate change 
       The government strategies for mitigation
       Science research funding

Purpose: The purpose of the paragraph is to prove that current climate change solutions are a reflection of cost benefit analysis.

Paragraph rewritten:
This ambition (of solving climate change without affecting the economy) is also reflected in the methodologies for mitigation. One of these methods is to fund scientific research that develops "clean energy technologies" or "infrastructure design projects" and to completely ignore studies that focus on other non-money-generating solutions such as behavior change, policy design, or politics (Burch 9). In fact, the importance of using these technologies and projects (including urbanization and spatial planning) was even stressed by the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as international solutions (Birch 184). According to the cost-benefit analysis, by placing preference in scientific research projects that produce these aforementioned technologies and projects, not only are the governments reducing carbon dioxide emissions, they are also simultaneously capitalizing on them.
