The Santa Barbara Independent Economists Talk Climate Change [Hoax] at UCSB

The conference that took place October 9 and 10 was attended by approximately 100 economists and other researchers. It provided an economic perspective on climate change, trying to gauge the effects of potential government policies, and consumer and corporate action.

GLOBAL! WARMING! NOW!, contributing so much to the frenzy that is only now subsiding.
