He thinks his most important issue area now perhaps should be global warming.....Krugman Gone Greta.
I think Thomas L Friedman may feel in his heart of hearts more or less the same way now too.

Greta really should call him out, (not hire him), and call all economists out, as she has done many others now already in politics.
Krugman's specialty as an economist was global trade, after all.......He wasn't there back then to throttle it on behalf of anyone's environment.
He probably did not even say things back then like regulating against big gas guzzlers would have been good policy.
