On March 2, the Wall Street Journal published an article by Princeton economist and former Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board Alan Blinder that includes this: “Climate change is the existential issue of our time. Nothing else poses a comparable threat to the continuation of human life on the planet.”
Putting aside Russia’s accelerating slaughter of Ukrainian civilians when Blinder’s article was published, his statement ignores facts that show that the benefits of global warming more than offset any harms that it may cause.
