Several regulatory agencies, particularly the EPA, are playing a pivotal role in promulgating and enforcing rules to mitigate activities contributing to climate change. Will these rules be effective and necessary to mitigate climate change, or will they impose excessively burdensome economic costs that can weaken an already fragile economy? This panel will discuss these and related matters in the area of agency regulation of activities impacting climate change.
