Arguing that junk economics has replaced junk science as the cause of inaction on climate change issues, more than 100 of the nation’s economists have joined to launch RealClimateEconomics.org. The group, which will use economic evidence to support public policy and business responses to the climate crisis, is modeled after Realclimate.org, an effort among climate scientists to dispel what they see as junk science popularized by climate skeptics.
RealClimateEconomics.org is a project of Economics for Equity and the Environment (E3 Network) and is funded by Portland, Ore.-based Ecotrust, an environmental think tank.
