UK Trade Deal, Iran War Tensions

Ed Davey on Climate Change as Insurance

U.K. Energy and Climate Minister Ed Davey appeared on television to argue that even if climate change science is not 100% certain, the public should view carbon reduction as an "insurance policy." The hosts compare this logic to the "non-risk society" arguments used by the TSA and Homeland Security. They characterize the push for global warming action as a form of "fascism" that ignores the potential risks of global cooling.
