Here’s an insightful, short commentary on the state of the environment: we may not be sowing the seeds of our own doom, but the very thought of it is enough to grab headlines (and loads of taxpayer cash). Naturally, the environmental crisis (which doesn’t exist) requires massive government intervention (which won’t help) since “environmental quality” is a public good that won’t be provided without government intervention. Want a counterexample? Go see the San Diego Wild Animal Park , a spectacular attraction that accepts no government money.
