Another aspect on misuse of economics in climate response
This podcast interview of Benjamin Franta is worthwhile listening to. It’s mainly about climate litigation, but it refers to his paper “Weaponising economics: Big oil, economic consultants and climate policy delay” in Environmental Politics (2022; 31(4):555-575) which is open access. The paper gives case studies of the abuse of economic analysis to delay climate policy, focused on an economic consultancy Charles River Associates. Nordhaus is referred to in supporting these economic consultants and downplaying climate impacts on economies.
