The New York Times today carries a mini debate between Paul Krugman and Ross Douthat concerning global warming.
They both discuss, essentially, how we got to the point at which we find ourselves. Both raise interesting points which converge ironically, in the final paragraphs.
Krugman ends with “Greed, aided by cowardice, has triumphed;” Douthat with “sometimes it makes sense to wait, get richer, and then try to muddle through.” (Emphasis added.)
Two mentions for greed, one for cowardice.
Greed wins.
