"Forgive us for looking through the legacy smoke, but if climate change
really does imperil the Earth, and we doubt it does, nothing coming out
of a gaggle of governments and the United Nations will save it. What
will help is human invention and the entrepreneurial spirit. To the
extent the Paris accord increases political control over human and
natural resources, it will make the world poorer and technological
progress less likely.". . .
"As we have learned from the Iran nuclear deal and so much else, Mr.
Obama is not into winning democratic consent for his policy dreams. Mr.
Obama plans to use Paris as a stick to beat Republicans even as he ducks
a vote in Congress. We doubt the Paris climate deal would get 40 Senate
votes once Democrats in Ohio, Colorado or North Dakota were forced to
debate the costs."
