Even the most well-intentioned climate scientists can produce bad policy recommendations, since they often focus solely on the importance of their own work.

That was one of the key points Richard Stroup offered during today’s presentation to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society. Stroup, an adjunct professor of economics at N.C. State University, worked with his colleague Eric Alston of the Political Economy Research Institute to develop the presentation on the science and history of climate change.

In the video clip below, Stroup explains how experts’ tunnel vision can lead them astray.
