Both the Right and Left have displayed illiberal reactions to climate change. The Right often denies the problem altogether, while the Left tends to exaggerate the severity of climate change, leading to support for illiberal solutions. Neither approach is constructive in addressing this pressing issue.
This topic was discussed in a panel at the ISMA‘s Liberalism for the 21st Century conference in July. I was a part of the panel alongside Nils Gilman from the Berggruen Institute, Joseph Majkut from CSIS, and Matt Yglesias, editor of Slow Boring. You can watch the video below.
An edited transcript of the panel, excluding the Q&A session, can be found here.
