 How to Fight Climate Change Without Soaking the Middle Class (DVD)
Peter Barnes
Entrepreneur and author Peter Barnes shows that fighting climate change is going to impact the pocketbook of every citizen, because costs associated with dumping carbon into the atmosphere are certain to rise. But, he argues, remediation policies that unfairly tax the middle class will fail. Barnes explores solutions to this impending problem and shows how we can fight climate change in a way that’s fair to all.
