Global Warming and Economics:

This first is site is awesome for a history lesson ...

The Discovery of Global Warming
A hypertext history of how scientists came to (partly) understand what people are doing to cause climate change.
aip.org

And here is NOAA's Global Monitoring Site:
cmdl.noaa.gov

And the Mauna Loa Observatory COs data:
cmdl.noaa.gov



And now what? Here are a couple of economic proposals:

Dr. Martin Feldstein writes in the WSJ:
online.wsj.com

Dr. Stiglitz proposes in the Economists’ Voice:
A New Agenda for Global Warming
bepress.com

The good news is a solid scientific consensus has emerged that the earth is warming and the primary cause is human activity. Now economists from the right and left are proposing economic policies.

I'm very optimistic that we will make progress on this issue - and that the solution will not damage the economy.

I have read up on global warming. The magazine "Science" and "The Scientific American" are reliable, as are the Wall Street Journal and other publications.

That is really a very presumptious thing that you have said. I hope that I would not say that to you.

The scientific evidence for global warming is well established, and increases every year.

As to the effect on the financial markets, especially credit and bond markets, I am not sure.
