“The claim that climate legislation will kill the economy deserves the same disdain as the claim that global warming is a hoax,” writes Nobel Economics Laureate Paul Krugman in his September 25 New York Times column. “Even corporations are losing patience with the deniers….So the main argument against climate action probably won’t be the claim that global warming is a myth.
