Libertarians corner themselves on the Global Warming issue

March 15th, 2008

This post - How would free individuals handle climate change? - over at Samizdata.net has produced an interesting and helpful comment thread. It’s a bunch of libertarians discussing what a properly libertarian approach to Global Warming would look like. A few people mention the standard “encourage poor Bangladeshis to get rich and solve their own GW-related problems, i.e., sea rise.” But there’s more than just that view, including a few efforts to actually answer the question posed by the poster. Note: I sympathize with a lot of the libertarian perspective, except I also like paved roads, police, street lights, etc., that are best provided by government. I’m also not convinced that Jesus is a libertarian.

In other news, UCLA and Stanford are playing for the Pac-10 Tourney championship.

Ok, you got me: I’m at the emergency room with Sam. He swallowed a dime. The x-rays show the dime is in his stomach, which means he’ll be just fine. We are just waiting to see the doctor to get the official OK.

See the image below. The white dot to the left of the spinal column is the dime in Sam’s stomach.

    been there, done that…I think it’s a required part of childhood, almost, along with getting detention and having to face down a bully or two…
