A Critique of the Apocalyptic Climate Narrative
Posted on May 7, 2025 by curryja |
by Judith Curry and Harry DeAngelo

We have a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, entitled “A Critique of the Apocalyptic Climate Narrative.” The paper reflects the JACF’s ongoing interest in publishing articles that analyze important Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues in ways that are useful for investors, money managers, and corporate directors, as well as for economists and legal scholars who study corporate governance.


The official link for the publication at Wiley .  The paper can be downloaded from SSRN .  Please use SSRN to download, as is it easier to navigate and so that we can keep track of the download numbers.

The back story on this paper is that Harry DeAngelo sent me a draft manuscript for comments.  I was intrigued by writing a paper on this topic for the corporate/investor audience, and the collaboration was born.

Some excerpts from the paper are provided below:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
