Climate Change: Is Economics the Source of the Problem or the Key to the Solution?

Open to the Public

Economics is often at the center of the climate change storm. Some blame economists and economic thinking for the problem or for overemphasizing material goods at the expense of intangible environmental well-being. Others feel that it is only through economic thinking that we can get past rhetoric and acutally do something to solve the climate change problem. This talks looks at both sides of the issue.
