Property rights and climate change
What will the impacts of anthopogenic greenhouse gas emissions be? Who will bear them? What are the costs, what are the alternatives, both of avoidance and remediation, and what will those cost? Most importantly, from a policy perspective, how should we think these problems? How can we set up systems which will actually result in some reasonable outcome? I’m glad that nice smart people seem to be working on the problem, so I don’t have to.
Other things I’m not reading that I feel like I ought to:
- The Millenium Assessment: 4 years, $20M scarce UN dollars, thousands of experts, zillions of volumes. It’s… millenial.
- Alan Greenspan on the energy outlook, and its impact on the economy.
- Personal Cars and China In case the “keep China poor” scenario doesn’t work
Stuff I’m reading that I probably shouldn’t:
- Pinole Creek Greatest hits.
- and lots of other things besides.
