It's not a Nobel price. It's honestly a disgrace to the Nobel price.

The entire reason Alfred Nobel even came up with the price is that he didn't want to be remembered as the merchant of death once he passed away.

He made his fortune using explosives, in other words, he made money off of killing people.

Now this guy (Nordhaus) is willingly stepping up in justifying mass extinction and then gets a "in memory of Nobel" prize, basically glorifying "the merchant of death" and thereby turning the entire Nobel price idea on its head.

Nordhaus's model is best described as an "Optimal extinction model". The type of model you would advocate because you're not going to survive until the consequences hit, so him dying today isn't some sad event, it's him shirking his responsibility to the future.
