My approach would be as follows:
a) Start with MS Excel. It is very simple to use and help is very widely
available. One can very easily draw very nice curves and dependent on what
intuition comes out of observing the curves fit different simple models to
the data and again draw curves of the model
Two possible approaches are:
a) Solve the problem yourself. Use one or a combination of standard
algorithms ( eg you mentioned linear programming and greedy algorithms,
there are many more of course) and/or your own custom algorithm. If you
wish to go this route and want to learn about the subject,
o spend their money most effectively." By all means, include climate
change as a risk, it undoubtedly is , but IMO it's wise to keep a balance
about other existential risks too, and do proper cost and benefits
analyses for different risks and actions.

Yep, I would go for this one. IMO we are involved in a collective process
where communication, reason, and action are indeed possible and
flourishing. Sure there are risks, climate change being one but not the
only one. Humanity is still very fragile and vulnerable to existential
risks like climate
The distribution of a small number of big ones and very large number small
ones (like in a scale free network with a power law distribution) is an
emerging property of a complex system where agents interact with each
