Global warming forum to be held in Casper

Global warming -- and whether it is man-made or a natural, recurring phenomenon -- is the topic of this year's Wyoming Forum, to be held in Casper Nov. 20 and 21.

The forum, a Wyoming Heritage Foundation event, is the foundation's 26th annual meeting. The public forum is attended by business leaders, elected officials, federal, state and local government representatives, educators and the general public.

Speakers include authors Bjorn Lomborg ("Cool It") and Dennis Avery ("Global Warming: Unstoppable Every 1500 Years"), and Nikki Roy of the PEW Center on Global Climate Change.

According to the release from the foundation, rigorous debate will take place among the speakers.

Dangerous Economics

paradoxically, it is the genuine crisis in world economics that could well put paid to the dangerous trope of ‘Green’ economics. We can no longer tolerate the bien pensant fantasies and utopias of Prince Charles and the middle classes.

I have little fear of climate change, so long as we can maintain strong, flexible economies, and support the less rich countries of the world. By contrast, naive, utopian ‘Green’ economics both frighten me and anger me, as they heap unwonted costs and taxes onto both the poor and the economy in general.

Except for the well-heeled few, dangerous ‘Green’ economics have always been an indulgence too far; in the present state of affairs, they are suicidal.
