    A few people have written about it, but it really is quite interesting how the issue-prioritization of climate cuts through (almost) all ideological factions inside the Democrats, as exemplified by the BBB negotiations leading into the IRA.

    If the democrats moderate on climate+immigration, other issues like trans rights probably don’t even need to be retreated on.

    EDIT: Barro’s critique of “Abundance”, [linked](https://www.joshbarro.com/p/if-your-agenda-prioritizes-carbon) in the original piece, was really good as well.

  2. Does he have any solution on the climate issue at all? He seems to be arguing that we should just drop it entirely and let the next generations suffer.

    Is that an accurate reading of his opinion?
