- wazoox 2y agoNotice that his work on climate change is a terrible bunch of crap. Basically, the guy does the basic mistake of confusing weather and climate, and his conclusion goes along "most productive work in modern economies is done in offices and factories not exposed to weather, therefore are impervious to climate change". This is beyond belief really. Generally, the way mainstream economics treats climate change is just shameful. If you want to learn more check Steve Keen's substack.
