Not me, Nordhaus: you can read his article here: https://t.co/IvDSlz7dDk
Summary:
Do nothing costs $134tr
Do smart tax: costs $20tr, reduce climate damages $50tr = $30tr benefit
Do more (most campaigners): climate costs decline, policy costs increase much more, net loss $40tr+ pic.twitter.com/CbgZTeWLRj

If you read his paper, you wouldn't need to accuse me of misrepresenting Nordhaus
And oh, no, 3.5°C will be a problem, not a disaster.
And policies trying to reach 2.5°C (or even lower) will have *much* higher costs than benefitshttps://t.co/IvDSlz7dDk pic.twitter.com/V354uofxmF

Has @AOC admitted a living wage rise requires cuts elsewhere in employment or service quality

Why cut back elsewhere? isn't a living wage supposed to be offset by efficiency wage and morale driven productivity gains or are you admitting you are hiring few effective full time staffers to pay for the living wage rise?https://t.co/GU34Ka8HR6
