Thanks for your posts and newsletter, it´s how I keep updated on geospatial topics. Great content!
Regarding the RCPs, I am not sure they "don’t account for socioeconomic changes". When they released them, they didn't publish the socio-economic parameters that accompany the RCPs, but they are accounted for when producing the RCPs. There is a way we reach different future emission levels, after all. The SSPs, as I understand it, are the successors of the RCPs rather than a complement. More info in section 3.1 in this paper: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-011-0148-z . Let me know what you think.
