IN 2005, I PUBLICLY CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT climate change. I concluded that the balance of the scientific evidence indicated that man-made global warming likely posed a significant problem for humanity. My new assessment did not please a number of my public policy friends, some of whom made their disappointment clear. Perhaps the most amusing but nevertheless painful episode occurred during the 2007 annual gala dinner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.–based free-market think tank.
The master of ceremonies was former National Review editor John O’Sullivan. To entertain the crowd, O’Sullivan put together a counterfeit tale in which I ostensibly had given a recent lecture on environmental trends pointing out that most were positive.
