A climate hearing hosted by the House Natural Resources Committee was missing a key witness...a Yale professor invited to answer questions about ecosystems valuations.
The academic expert in complex natural capital assessments hid from the committee, afraid he'd get hard questions from lawmakers about his plans to close down energy, agriculture, timber, and mining activities in the United States.
It's a sad state of academia when experts like Mr. David Wilkinson, Executive Director of Yale's Tobin Center for Economic Policy won't testify to defend their extreme public lands proposals.
