ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to β€œput your hands up, stupid!”

This is tyranny

These kids are traumatized

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Of the ten economists Nordhaus surveyed one is Lawrence Summers, ex-President of Harvard University, director of the National Economic Council from 2009-10, and the 71st United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001. It was he, who as the World Bank’s Chief Economist from ’91 to ’93,

signed off on an internal memo arguing that exporting pollution to countries with lower wages would reduce β€œforegone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality,” so that β€œthe economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that.”

Larry Summers appears as No.17 on the list.

Under the sub-heading Apocalypse or Small Potatoes, Nordhaus asks respondents for their β€œbest guess” at the impact of 3-degree warming by 2090. The reaction

Speaking of Larry Summers.

Here's what he famously said about toxic waste and #climate breakdown.
