Posted by Lisa Hymas at 3:59 PM on 02 May 2007

Rep. Jay Inslee, Democrat from Washington's 1st congressional district and a clean-energy champion, will be discussing climate change with other local eco-experts (and with the audience) at Seattle's Town Hall on May 9. Additional smart folks at the Symposium on Climate Policy, presented by the Thomas C. Wales Foundation, will include Denis Hayes, national coordinator of the first Earth Day and president of the Bullitt Foundation; K.C. Golden of Climate Solutions; Ben Packard of Starbucks; Eric Markell of Puget Sound Energy; and Steve Nicholas of Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment. Ross Reynolds of KUOW will moderate. Tickets are $15 (that's a mere five lattes!) and available at the door.

Questions by Proxy ?

As I'll be in Wales at the time of the meeting,
I wonder if anyone would care to ask a question for me ?

Preamble: we've known enough scientifically to justify stringent action under the precautionary principle since about 1990,
but have seen little significant action by any nation owing to the lack of a binding universal treaty allocating declining emissions rights for all nations.

The core issue is of course just how those emission rights are to be allocated -
by a transition from present shares to per capita shares -
or by a pro rata % reduction for all nations -
or by some other system.

What are the panel's proposals on this seminal issue ?

Regards,

Why Waste Political Credit?

I doubt if Inslee will keep his seat...
