If you’re following the Copenhagen climate talks and you’re looking for some interesting reading, we recommend Paul Krugman’s latest op-ed in the *New York Times*, “[An Affordable Truth](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/07/opinion/07krugman.html?_r=2&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1260187406-I7uOWV8Lzjw/Rx76WYauzw)“. In Krugman’s words:

> If things go well in Copenhagen, the usual suspects will go wild. We’ll hear cries … that climate-change policies will destroy jobs and growth. The truth, however, is that cutting greenhouse gas emissions is affordable as well as essential.
