Over at ISIL’s Question Earthority! site, Dan Karlan throws down the gauntlet on global warming. To summarize: It’s real, it’s anthropogenic, it’s a problem, and it’s time for libertarians to start dealing with it instead of sticking our thumbs in our ears, screwing our eyes shut and whining that it’s not true because we really, really, really, really don’t want it to be true. One of today’s news articles highlights that last point: According to a BBC News poll, 80% of individuals around the world are willing to make “sacrifices” (i.e. bend over and cough for the state), and 75% are fine with “green taxes,” to address a problem that many libertarians are still petulantly refusing to acknowledge the existence of or seriously advocate non-statist solutions to. No, I’m not biased or anything. Discuss. Filed under: RRND Symposia | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
