The debate over global warming has many of the same attributes as the debate over ethnic genetic interests. There are claims on both sides of benefits vs costs. Vectorists claim that heterosity produces all manner of wonders through (fill in the latest sophistry). Racialists/separatists/true conservatives/etc. claim that our natural heritage of nations and cultures is at unnecessary risk in a relatively meaningless experiment in technologically amplified panmixia. Global warming Cassandras are much like us—they are claiming that our natural heritage is at unnecessary risk in a relatively meaningless experiment in technologically amplified CO2 (and other greenhouse gas) generation. If there were rational reinsurance networks operating with respect to global application of technologically amplified panmixia and greenhouse gas generation, premium would they charge those who put the rest of us at risk via these practices? How would they go about calculating it? In what “currency” would it be reasonable to “pay the premiums” and “pay out the indemnifications”? I believe the Actuarial Genetic Interests approach can unify a great many facets of our human dilemma under a single scientific, business, economic model of rational values and retrieve from the leftist loons the moral high ground.

Do you support laws mandating reductions in CO2 emissions from human activity?
