Cato Institute Has Bigger Fish To Fry

While many countries are focusing on the crisis in Indonesia, the Cato Institute is concentrating on other issues. In an interview today, representatives from Cato stated that though the volcano is a pressing issue for Indonesia and those providing aid, they believe that their goal is in placing more emphasis on other issues that will increase job creation and reduce government involvement in climate control.

In the eyes of Cato and many other conservative groups, the United States should cease the writing and passing of bills regarding issues of climate, such as reducing CO2 emissions and should instead spend their efforts focusing on placing more power in American citizens. 
Thus, the Cato Institute is proposing a bill on climate change that will force the government to be further removed from efforts in preventing extreme climate change. Cato, although typically considered to be a libertarian group, holds conservative ideals with regards to the economy, as they believe that working to avert a climate crisis is the people’s choice and upholds that the government should be less focused on this particular issue.

Cato plans to present their bill in front of Congress in the coming days, and hopes to reach across the aisle to obtain the support of both Republicans and Democrats. As this country was founded on the belief that the power rests in the hands of the people, the Cato Institute recalls these ideals and plans to incorporate the principles of our founding fathers into their bill to regulate climate change.
