There’s a new star out there in the online constellation of viewpoints, a Web site called RealClimateEconomics.org. The effort, more think tank than blog, was created by a network of economists and others, with support from two environmental groups and a foundation, working to strip away some of the spin surrounding the intersection of climate change, politics and money. The project is headed by Kristen Sheeran of Ecotrust. There’s certainly plenty of spin these days and will be ever more as the Waxman-Markey climate clean energy and security bill moves slowly through the Capitol Hill gantlet. (I’ve been meaning to write about the significance of a climate bill not having the word climate in its title, which presumably has to do with the lack of traction the issue has with voters).

The people involved with the new economics Web site have a strongly stated point of view: “The peer-reviewed literature demonstrates that there is rigorous economic support for immediate, large-scale policy responses to the climate crisis.”
