Ronald Bailey on Obama's ClimateCare Program
As Barack Obama's signature health insurance program implodes, some observers are speculating that regulatory action on climate change could afford the beleaguered president a second chance at establishing an enduring policy legacy.

Reason Science Correspondent Ronald Bailey argues that the Obamacare fiasco should be a warning to the president and other policymakers that a comparable ClimateCare program of top-down centralized planning will miscarry just as spectacularly.
