Sorry but seeing suicidally insane ideas from economists like "If we had ten degrees of global warming we& #39;d just move indoors like the Saudis, no problem" makes me want to quit the field. Economists need to be physically restrained from talking about climate change.

At best, humanity would be a few scattered tribes eking out a desperate living if we saw 10 C of warming. It would NOT be Iowans enjoying summer like Floridians.

More of me absolutely losing my shit at the kind of straight-up insane nonsense that the field almost unanimously praises and rewards: https://twitter.com/Prince_Kropotkn/status/1280764590356217856">https://twitter.com/Prince_Kr...

@RichardTol you are incredibly stupid and should not be talking about climate change, much less researching it

i don& #39;t often ask but please RT the thread to see if this god damn moron can possibly be embarrassed, I am in complete rage mode

finally should note I found that screenshot from @gordonschuecker, but I regret to say I& #39;ve seen just as bad multiple times myself
