Aaron,

Agree entirely on the pollution credits issue. Aside from the inherent economic inequities, the system creates huge potential for abuse. Suppose one factory accumulates a large number of pollution credits. Does that give them the right to compromise the health and safety of nearby residents?

Environmental regulation is a basic, essential, and necessary function of government. There are certain rules that need to be enforced, and one of them is that one person's economic enterprise, no matter how important, cannot be allowed to destroy other people's lives.

I'm not sufficiently informed on global warming to comment on that, though I do think that the testimony of known ideologues from either pole should be discounted in any such debate.

Hate to pump my pet stocks here, but have you looked at NVIC?
