Bailey Talks Carbon Taxes In Los Angeles and You're Invited
What to do about climate change? Just a couple of days after you've made your yearly contribution to the federal budget, I will be giving a talk at noon weighing the advantages and disadvantages of carbon taxes and carbon markets. (Of course, the chief immediate disadvantage of both is that you would have to pay more for energy and for any products made using energy-which is to say, you would pay more for just about everything.)
Bring a brown bag lunch and we'll convene at Reason's headquarters at
3415 S. Sepulveda Blvd. Suite 400
Los Angeles, CA 90034
Please call Mary Toledo to RSVP at 310-391-2245
Come on down and tell me why you agree or disagree with what I have to say. Hope to see you all at Reason on Wednesday.

Ron Bailey has never had a talk in Rochester, so obviously he must be afraid of my virtually superhuman logical powers.

I will be giving a talk weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of carbon taxes and carbon markets.
It is worth noting that -- if carbon sequestration is factored in
-- carbon taxes and carbon markets are identical
for a cap equal to zero and a noncompliance penalty equal to the
tax.

joe,
We have the highest murder rate of any city in New York State,
thank you very much.

crimethink: Actually, I gave a talk "Who's Afraid of Posthumanity" at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the fall of 2004. So who's afraid of whom? ;-)

Now that Bailey has taken to referring to himself in the third person, Ridgely shall do likewise. Ridgely regrets he can't make it owing to his yearly contribution to the federal budget. Ridgely also expresses some surprise that Reason has a headquarters in LA and wonders if that means its hindquarters are in DC.

Damn I thought I had put in the time--it's fixed now--the lunch begins at noon on Wednesday April 18. See you there.

Crap, I'm wrong twice in one thread. How often does that
happen?!
It turns out Buffalo edged us out as the per-capita murder capital
of NYS last year. We'll get blood for that!
It bears mentioning of course, that Roch is a small city surrounded
by big suburbs, area-wise. The city itself is pretty much entirely
made up of rough neighborhoods at this point, but the suburbs are
quite safe.

However often you post twice in a thread.

Nerds! Nerds!
Or is it Darmok on the Ocean when Bailey is done with his talk?

Wow, I don't know how I missed you at RIT, Ron. Crap that really
pisses me off, because I actually attended some guys lecture on
campus a year or so earlier on bioethics, and remember thinking
'this guy sucks, we need to get Ron Bailey up here.'
Crimethink, I'm kind of sad that a good poster like you is still
apparently in Rochester after graduating. Get the hell out man! The
whole point of that RIT degree is its from a good enough school
that you can get a job really far away from Rochester!

"It turns out Buffalo edged us out as the per-capita murder

Yeah, but it go towards Buffalo's stats.
