Summary

This quote emphasizes that nature cannot be reduced to its technical or economic value, and humans should be seen as more than just statistics. The idea of aligning various institutions like science, environmental management, government, and diplomacy to regulate global climate is considered optimistic. It suggests that it is overly simplistic to believe that these institutions can easily come together to collaboratively address such a complex issue, as their overlapping interests and conflicting agendas may hinder effective regulation.
