Shellenberger & Nordhaus (and Lomborg) are Delayers, not Deniers
William Chaloupka is outraged I declared S&N were climate change Deniers. I didn't.
That said, I realize I could have been crystal clear on this point. Let me be so here.
S&N (and Lomborg) are not deniers, obviously. They are delayers, as I have defined the term. I have written this so many times, I forgot to be clearer in my first post. For a similar perspective in the San Francisco Chronicle, see here.

William Chaloupka also missed the entire point of the debate. The big question we have to answer is not whether or not S&N have the right packaging -- it's whether or not what they say is at all feasible.
Even if they're right that their plan could be more easily sold to the public, it's meaningless if it doesn't solve the problem.
