With climate legislation moving to a vote this week in Chairman Henry Waxman’s Energy and Commerce Committee, it’s encouraging to see thoughtful and honest arguments and posts covering the various angles of this historic step forward.
Paul Krugman’s The Perfect, the Good, the Planet posits that while imperfect, Waxman-Markey is our best chance at addressing climate change. Joe Romm sets the record straight on Europe’s carbon trading efforts in his recent post, and Daniel Weiss provides a succinct update on where the legislation currently stands.

The unfortunate reality is that, like the Lieberman-Warner bill from the last session, the Waxman-Markey bill will cost Americans billions — if not trillions — of dollars to fix something serious scientists DO NOT AGREE is broken and DO NOT AGREE we can affect in any meaningful way, whether it’s broken or not.

In any event, this is not something we can afford at this time, no matter how well-intentioned.
