POPSAl Gore: Climate, Economic Crises Have Same Solution From an op-ed in the NYT . Writes Gore, "Looking ahead, I have great hope that we will have the courage to embrace the changes necessary to save our economy, our planet and ultimately ourselves." It makes sense. Rebuilding our infrastructure to deal with global warming would also be a huge jobs program and a boost to help create new industries. All of this Bush stuff about dealing with emissions being bad for the economy is BS. It's always been BS. I keep saying it's the buggywhip industry complaining about those newfangled horseless carriages. There's no reason to listen to these people. They're just backwards looking defenders of dying industries.

POPSCorruption at the Harvard economics department Many people like to say that former president of Harvard University Lawrence Summers got fired because he was politically incorrect and a maverick. Actually, one big factor that cost him a lot of supporters was his dishonesty in the "Russia scandal" where Harvard economist Andrei Schleifer quite openly directed an advice-giving mission to Russia for USAID while investing in that country, a clear conflict of interests. Even more disturbing than Schleifer's corruption is the complacency of his colleagues in the economic department--including Lawrence Summers. Via Max Sawicky
