“In other words, the economist who has been embraced as a guiding light by the global institution tasked with shepherding humanity through the climate crisis, who has been awarded a Nobel for climate costing, who is widely feted as the doyen of his field, doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

It’s written for popular accessibility for sure, but its polemic style is probably the approach it needs to take. And I’m very much on board with its core line of argument about the tendency of macroeconomic theory to be immune to falsification: saying “other lines of evidence and common sense are wrong” when the response should be “maybe this model is wrong.”

@inthehands @chargrille not fond of the style of this piece but interesting read

The article’s main point is important enough that I’m sharing it anyway, but it’s not a model of argumentation.
