Summary: | Wiener points out that subnational state-level action is not the best way to combat global climate change. This is true even assuming that forestalling global climate change is of utmost importance, and even where the state-level policies are individually well designed. The basic point remains that local action is not well suited to regulating mobile global conduct yielding a global externality. He argues that subnational state-level action, by itself, is of limited value, and may even yield preserve results; and given that such state-level action is already occurring and suggest what is best uses may be in light of these limitations.
