Climate Change and Public Policy

Climate change will affect all of us. For the next few months, it is going to affect the world of politics more than anything else. MoveOn.Org, which I am a member, has environmental issues as one of our big five. Both McCain and Obama have stated that they will do the best job battling back the effects of global warming. But what are they going to do? What should they do? We don't hear many plain english answers to these questions.

Reason Magazine hosted a symposium on climate change policies and free markets. I found it very illuminating. I could even sympathize with the libertarian who wished for no government intervention.

Educate yourself on this issue! Indifference only gives our leaders the easy out of leaving this monster hereditary issue to another generation.
