World leaders have made a forceful statement that climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity in the 21st century. However, there is a wide gap between ambition and implementation of policies to address climate change. Oversimplification of the climate change problem and its solution have resulted in a political stalemate. Understanding the many dimensions of uncertainty surrounding the climate change problem helps us to better assess the risks. A framework is presented for a 'Plan B' to strategize on how we can formulate pragmatic solutions for responding to climate change while improving human well-being.
