Is restricting carbon levels to zero a crime against humanity? Here’s the case that it’s exactly that.

Democracies around the world are in trouble.  After a good, long run with freedom flourishing, we suddenly find ourselves (with other large democracies in the West) with dysfunctional governments that appear incapable of dealing with problems in a rational manner.
