Heh. Yeah, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Nordhaus didn’t subtract off the previously-free sunlight lost to global dimming and the attenuation of natural sources of nightlight due to interference from artificial light.
This is NOT to say I’m endorsing some kind of greenie move toward a pre-industrial time just so we can see the undimmed sky or have less “light pollution”. I’m just saying that ignoring natural and informal sources of wealth is a bad habit to get into.
How much did it cost a cave man to walk outside? Or are we including the time he spent digging renovations to put the sky-light in his roof?
