#ASKFOE Rational econ. view> Hot-end uncertainty is reason for CO2 action. Psych/social/political realities cut other way. Solution? #FOE15

Libecap: Most promise for collective action on small scale #environment problems: less uncertainty & often easier to align interests #FOE15

Dr. Libecap: "It is stunning how slowly we are to react to larger-scale crises" e.g. Prudhoe Bay #FOE15

Libecap: effective response to large-scale common pool resource problems often late & incomplete (oil extraction, fisheries, #water) #FOE15

Dr. Libecap: Crises can help bring parties together. Reduces uncertainty. Narrows perceptions. Can raise country level benefits. #FOE15

Libecap: paradox: crisis can bring parties together b/c it reduces unceratinty, clarifies costs/benefits; narrows info differences #FOE15

Libecap: Country leaders, despite what they say, cooperate when it serves important constituencies to do so, over the long term. #FOE15

Downside to advocacy if your information is not viewed as neutral so your agency can be viewed as credible. #FOE15
