Climate Change not existential
You may have heard last year from the Climate Change hystericals that a new study in Nature magazine showed that climate change was going to destroy the economy and is significantly driving costs up. (1) MSM trumpeted the story.
The problem is that it turns out that this study had fatal flaws and when corrections are made the analysis shows that the cost of climate change is not significantly different from zero (2)(3).
