He is of the view that when policies focused on economic growth confront policies focused on emission reduction, it is economic growth that will win out every time. I believe that Roger Pielke is correct. We must confront this reality and adopt a system of arguments that show that climate change is now entwined in all economic considerations: that one will be to the detriment of the other unless this reality is brought into discussions.
