Superb NYT Opinion Piece on Climate Change
06/22/14 Filed in: Climate
Change
The New York Times today published an amazingly comprehensive and
compelling opinion piece by Hank Paulson,
the former Treasury Secretary. Paulson speaks to
his fellow Republicans, comparing the risks of
ignoring climate change to the risks created in
financial markets by ignoring the bubble there,
which eventually resulted in near-catastrophe.
Highly recommended!
