Nordhaus' model shows, absurdly, that even if global warming reaches 6C it will cost only 8.5% of GDP, and 19C will cost 50% of global GDP. Fact: a planet warmed by 6C will not support human civilization, and 19C will not support life.

In case you missed it, Nordhaus used his Nobel Memorial Prize lecture to argue that global warming of of 3-4C is "optimal" from an economic perspective. This runs completely against the actual science. It is disturbing that the Nobel platform was used to propagate this view.

So it turns out that reducing the corporate tax rate doesn't in fact reduce tax evasion, contra Trump and his stooges. The only thing that reduces tax evasion is... cracking down on tax evasion.https://twitter.com/gabriel_zucman/status/1081000312981331968 …

Pondering
#NewYearsResolutions in an age of climate breakdown? Here are three easy ones: 1) Switch your home (and workplace!) to a clean energy provider. 2) Liberate your diet from beef and lamb. 3) Move your money to a fossil-free bank (in the UK: Nationwide, Triodos, Co-Op).Thanks.
