Controversies
Varshney and CSUS business school associate Dennis Tootelian came under fire in 2009-2010 for their California Small Business Association-commissioned analysis of likely effects of California's global warming law AB 32. Their analysis only addressed costs, and was panned by environmental economists for that and other flaws.
