But that isnt the correct way to approach the climate change debate on the political spectrum.
That one group denys its existence doesn’t change what a right wing policy is. Thats the whole problem conservatives are no longer conservatives. If they were conservatives they would support conservative policies to deal with problems. The Carbon Tax and Globalism regardless of their current level of support are pure Chicago school economics.
Taxing externalities is straight out of Friedman.
