Abstract

It is now abundantly clear that economists were quite unsuccessful in modeling global economics and predicting critical thresholds. I submit that global climate models are much more robust, and that we have a much better understanding of future climate than we do future economics. I recommend that our leaders start listening to the climate scientists.
