Environmentalism refuted
----------
by George Reisman
A rational response to the possibility of large-scale environmental change
is to establish the economic freedom of individuals to deal with it, if
and when it
comes. Capitalism and the free market are the essential means of doing
this, not paralyzing government controls
and "environmentalism." (04/20/01)
