A Quorum by Smart people on what we should do about Global Warming

September 13th, 2007 Alex

Here is a pretty good article in The New York Times Freakonomics blog by Stephen J. Dubner. It is a Quorum where several smart people are asked “What should the U.S. government be doing about global warming, and what should individuals be doing?” It is a pretty interesting read and can be insightful when you hear about what intelligent people have to say about the topic. If you want to read about Global warming, there is an endless amount of information on the web, news, magazines, etc. I have also had numerous conversations with people from different industries, places, ages, etc. Every so often, I will have a good conversation, but a lot of the times, some people that I talk to or that I read about will always complain, bitch, and moan about what we should, what the government should do, why aren’t we doing this, why aren’t we doing that, etc. The good thing about what the people talk about in this article, is that they actually talk about what the government should do as well as mention the pros and cons of the actions. A lot of the times people talk a lot about what should be done but don’t really realize the consequences. Newton’s third law applies to everything in life and it definitely applies to this question. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
