Environmental Wars Conference:

This Saturday I will be speaking at the Skeptic Society conference "The Environmental Wars: The Science Behind the Politics," hosted by Dr. Michael Shermer at the California Institute of Technology. My talk is titled "The Fables of Federal Environmental Regulation: A Re--examination of the Reasons for Federal Environmental Regulation." Other speakers at the conference include David Baltimore, Michael Crichton, Gregory Benford, David Goodstein, and John Stossel, so I expect there to be quite a bit of disagreement on a variety of issues. I'm particularly looking forward to the debate between Chris Mooney and Ronald Bailey on the politicization of science. Technology willing, I will live-blog much of the conference over at The Commons Blog. More conference details here.
