India not only is balking at agreeing to limitations on carbon emissions, it also apparently is challenging the science underlying global warming theories. This development is noteworthy, because if India and the other growing economic powers — China, Brazil, and Indonesia — refuse to participate in some kind of binding worldwide effort to reduce our [...]

The Long, Cool Summer

Our summer in Columbus has been delightful so far — cool, crisp mornings and days that, for the most part, have stayed in the 70s and low 80s. We’ve managed to avoid the kind of stifling, muggy weather that you would expect to find in the midwest in the middle of July. This weather data [...]
Bills Unread, Duties Undone

I’ve previously noted that it is easy to support costly environmental regulations if someone else is saddled with the cost. When proposed regulations have broad and burdensome impact, however, the objections to such regulations often are loud and sustained. That seems to be the case with the climate change/global warming legislation that is currently pending [...]
The Global Warming Debate Heats Up

It will be interesting to see if the current economic problems make people a little less likely to accept all of the global warming studies and to put up the money that will be needed to materially reduce greenhouse gases. In the meantime, global warming naysayers are publishing some interesting articles, like this one. I [...]
