I distinctly remember when the doomsday cult told us we should only listen to those with degrees in climate science
California Teen Starts an Online Journal on the Power of Economics to Confront Climate Change
Mira Shah was in sixth grade five years ago when a brush fire ignited on the hill in front of her house. Shah had heard that global warming was making natural hazards like wildfires more common and destructive. But climate change seemed like an abstract threat until a fire burned so close to home.
Then, in January, a series of catastrophic fires ravaged several Los Angeles communities, not far from one of Shah’s cousins and an aunt. Climate change made the hot, dry, windy conditions that fueled those fires 35 percent more likely, according to the international research organization World Weather Attribution.
For Shah, who had a burgeoning interest in economics, the L.A. fires crystallized her concern that climate change posed an urgent threat to lives and livelihoods. She started a small fundraiser to support firefighters and displaced families, and to raise awareness about the growing costs of a warming world.
But she wanted to do more.
So, at this point she’s 16 or 17, still in high school, and we’re supposed to listen to her opinion on economics and climate doom? Really? All because someone did something stupid and caused a wildfire, made worse by the decisions of Democrat politicians?
She worried that her generation would bear the brunt of global warming’s consequences but seemed unprepared to combat it. “I decided I wanted to make my impact on the world and stop it from getting too bad,” said Shah.
Shah launched an online journal in July called Karbon Economics with the help of a few likeminded friends at Quarry Lane School, a private college prep school in Dublin, about 35 miles east of San Francisco, and nearby Monte Vista High School.
Karbon (Shah used a “k” to help it stand out) features essays, explainers and soon-to-be-published student research that explores “how economic forces shape our world—from the climate crisis and carbon markets to inequality, trade and development.” The student-run journal will enlist young voices “to shape a better-informed world” by making the economic dimensions of climate change more accessible.
Hmm, so, the cult is pretty much about everything? When do the youts stop using so much energy to make their own carbon footprints zero?
“At a time when the United States seems to be abandoning the future to runaway global heating, it’s wonderful to see high-school students, especially three girls of color, launch this gorgeous venue for well-written, accessible articles about the current state of climate economics,” said Genevieve Guenther, an expert reviewer for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and founding director of the volunteer-run organization End Climate Silence. “I look forward to them developing their understanding of the issues as they dive further into the political economy of the climate crisis.”
Of course we have to include a raaaaacist component. Pretty sure that “climate economics” means “the government is going to take all your money and make your life super expensive.”
