Oren Cass's Testimony on Climate Change Damage, Part 2 of 3

In my last post, I discussed the Manhattan Institute's Oren Cass's May 16 testimony before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology in a hearing on climate change. Cass's overall thesis is that many "official" estimates of potential climate change damages do not adequately incorporate human adaptability, and so they grossly exaggerate the likely harms. In my post, I reviewed Cass's argument about ozone and PM2.5, where the alleged dangers of unchecked warming will lead to atmospheric concentrations of these pollutants by the year 2100 that are still lower than they were in the year 2000. In effect, the studies warning of the dangers of more ozone and PM2.5 did not adequately take into account the dramatic reduction in these pollutants that has occurred just in the last two decades.
