Advice to a Libertarian Physicist on the Climate Policy Debate | Somewhat Reasonable

Here at The Heartland Institute, we have frequently debated the wisdom (or lack of wisdom) of taking the science seriously. Most free-market think tanks don't. But failing to do so rendered them irrelevant in what is arguably the biggest public policy debate of our lifetimes. We decided not to debate "what should be done about global warming." We looked under the hood at the science touted by the other side and found it to be utterly unpersuasive.

So we set out to persuade the public and their elected representatives that global warming is not a crisis, it needs neither a government solution nor a private property solution. Opinion polls and political outcomes in recent years show we were remarkably successful.
