Boudreaux and Global Warming

In August, 2006 article Boudreaux wrote that the best way to deal with global warming would be to "neglect it."

To quote:

Those of us who recognize these important benefits of capitalism…are reluctant to yield power to governments to tackle global warming. … [I]t’s a perfectly legitimate stance for truly reasonable people to conclude that the best policy regarding global warming is to neglect it — and let capitalism continue to make us healthier and wealthier.
