Thanks a lot for a copy of the paper!

Maybe the "still a lot to do" framing is fundamentally flawed when we are in effect moving backwards?

Bill Gates is worse. He even admitted that before writing his climate book he had no clue about the subject. But his book sold well, because people adore money and power (but not wisdom).

I had discussed Nordhaus extensively with Ketcham a little over two years ago. Great to see he's got it out now. It's a little polemical at places, as said, but we all really need to chew this over - it is like there are two IPCC reports, one for the decision makers using IAMs, and the rest for us.

Thanks Paul, I need some followers here, as a newbe on this platform.

He's had a long interview at the annual American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco quite a few years back. Since then he thinks he's a climate scientist.

He seems to be thinking of electric tractors and combine harvesters, and refrigerated trucks and ships transporting beef and pork around the globe.
