Bret Stephens: Global Warming and the Poor, Why India and China don’t care much about climate change - '...There’s a lesson in this for those who believe that the world’s environmental problems call for a new era of dirigisme. And there ought to be a lesson for those who claim to understand the problems of the poor better than the poor themselves.
