          from          Lewis L Smith

Thank you, Lou, for a fascinating window on the debate over Global Warming.

Historically business has always tried to obtain government intervention in 
its favor while decrying as "interference with the market" intervention on 
behalf of consumers and competing technologies. There is some deeply rooted 
institutional hypocrisy here.

More important, whatever the causes of GW, its probable consequences are very 
serious, and we can do something about it. Moreover, these "somethings" will 
require innovative solutions in which the different participants in the 
economic scene must relate to each other in new ways.

So those who deny its reality and urgency or want to "leave it to the market" 
are, as the Bard would say, "fools or knaves".

Cordially. ###
