[Larvatus Prodeo] What is truth? at Larvatus Prodeo: And before you start banging on about vested interests defeating the climate change response, shouldn’t we take note that the constituency with the most to lose from a mitigation response are the poorest in our society? Unless we move to a model of serious redistribution of wealth (which I accept is attractive to most of the participants on this blog), the poorest in our community will suffer the most as we adjust pricing in our economy to take account of the asserted environmental cost of carbon emissions.

[FCPP - Frontier Centre for Public Policy] Denial Not Just For The Deniers: FCPP - Frontier Centre for Public ...: Those who once called skeptics about catastrophic man-made climate change “deniers” are themselves now in a state of denial as both the science and public opinion shifts against them. ...
