India’s Case for Climate Change Action: on IEB

For a month, I will be writing as a guest blogger on the Indian Economy Blog. My first post just went live – Climate Change, Why India Must Act.

I have been a long-time supporter of India’s policy of staying away from Kyoto’s binding targets. Recent research I’ve conducted over the past month, however, has shown me the futility of that view. While we may be right about not causing climate change, we will suffer nonetheless. So it behooves the government to do something about it. Which is to say nothing of the fact that climate change is an excellent opportunity – to profit and change our wasteful ways. So, “it is time the Indian government moved beyond posturing, and did something.”
