The myriad policies and initiatives put forth under the banner of climate change mitigation can sometimes overwhelm the mind. But most of these alleged climate solutions can be understood as big government in disguise, in the form of rules, regulations, and other encroachments on our free use of energy and other resources. Far too many philanthropic organizations financially support these government-in-disguise measures rather than supporting more useful measures that take the essentiality of individual and economic freedom into account.
