Conservatives on Board re: Global Warming & Gore
My pal, the Chicago writer Paul Challacombe, regualrly sends me articles about the discussion over global warming. As he wrote, Gregg Easterbrooke, of the Brookings Institute is a conservative. But even he is now feeling the heat of global warming.
In the article he wrote for the Times, Easterbrooke urges President Bush to do something: http://tinyurl.com/zc23j. His idea is a credit system, similar to past proposals from others. It is also remarkable that he opens with a reference to Gore's new film on global warming.
Of course from his point of view it's mainly a farming problem (supply Western resources) vs. dying human indigenous land based cultures and other species. But hey, you gotta start somewhere. If it takes the pocketbooks of a few selfish men to address global warming, who am I to argue?
