Abstract

The article offers comments of several critics on the article "Why Economic Analysis Supports Strong Action on Climate Change," by Simon Dietz and Nicholas Stern. According to Robert Mendelsohn, Dietz and Stern in their article focus on climate advocacy rather than environmental economics. However, Thomas Sterner and U. Martin Persson supported Dietz and Stern, in highlighting the combined weight of ethical considerations and the large-scale risks that climate change poses.
