The Apocalyptic Climate

The question isn’t whether climate change is happening — it’s what we’re willing to sacrifice in the name of stopping it, and whether the proposed cures might be worse than the disease.

• Applies Sowell’s three questions to climate policy: compared to what? at what cost? what’s the evidence?
• The science of the problem and the politics of the response are two very different things
• Who benefits from catastrophism, and who quietly pays the price?

When fear drives policy, trade-offs disappear from the conversation. This puts them back on the table.
