When climate breakdown meets Nobel economics:

“Bake a brittle Nordhaus world, asshole.”

To be sung to the tune of ‘Birdhouse in Your Soul’ by They Might Be Giants.

…Not to put too fine a point on it
Tell the whole world “Don’t worry, we’re on it”
Bake a brittle Nordhaus world, asshole.

We have a secret to tell
“Electrify!” not going too well
But our simple message
Says you can have the whistles and bells
So the world should listen to we
Filibuster vigilantly…

…Farting out the above alternative lyric has caused me to revisit the rather wonderful ‘Here Comes Science’ by They Might Be Giants:
