And it's not just economists who don't do a lot of work on climate change as a field. It's everyone. Law, political science, engineering, social science, everyone. In just the U.S., what % of policy & technology researchers work on climate? 10%? 5%? 2%? https://twitter.com/yayitsrob/status/1382044637028872192

There are some really innovative economists doing fantastic work on climate topics. They collaborate, always are learning, are humble, publish in interdisciplinary journals, & always have more questions than comments at seminars. Be like them.

Y'all know my issue- you can't treat unreviewed working papers as actionable climate policy analysis. This is, as has been said in another context, an inconvenient truth. Want to be relevant in climate policy analysis? You can! Go through review & put your tables in the text.
