In this thread the argument is about economic models which are the basis for any discussion on what to do about the claimed problem. As Impact was trying to argue economic models are never purely scientific exercises and the politics of the modeler matters a lot.
as an example... you put forward the Nordhaus model. If you don't accept the Nordhaus IAM (and the related... and
projected SCC) do you have a preferred alternate {IAM} based model that better fits/suits your position, notably your position against mitigating CO2 emissions?
additionally, as you provided it, what do you interpret as the "Nordhaus politics" that have influenced the creation of the respective DICE/RICE models... and any politics associated with your (I expect, I presume) preferred alternative IAM.
