Wait, which they? In this case, the “they” is the guys with the money, and more specifically, the World Bank. We know the folks at the World Bank have quantified the cost of carbon dioxide, or they are trying to. A noble steed, no doubt, can’t they see the horror that awaits us?
Or maybe they are fudging the numbers? Would you believe it’s the numbers that tell them there is no problem?
