LEGAL POT? NY Should Beware Of Pitfalls Editor’s Note: This appeared in YourAAA, the Jan./Feb. edition of the Automobile Association of America/Northeast.

This warming will “disrupt many areas of life,” affecting trade and precipitating conflicts. Let’s assume for the moment that the data warrants the conclusion – man-made GHGs are the cause of global warming. How do we solve this problem? What works? For smooth transitions to a less…
