Jerry Hinkle will present two papers: one by Noah Kaufman on carbon price rates needed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and another by Dr. Drew Shindell on the health benefits of climate policies like the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (EICDA). Rick Knight will then provide an overview of the Household Impact Study, detailing EICDA's estimated impact on American households down to each U.S. zip code.

Additionally, a team will review CCL’s analysis of the June 2020 Lobby Day notes. For more information, explore the Economics of Carbon Fee & Dividend, the Economics Policy Network, the Household Impact Study, and the 2020 June Meeting Analysis. Specific sections can be accessed via timestamps.

Green colonialism impacts the Indigenous Sámi of northern Europe, with large-scale renewable energy and conservation projects built on ancestral lands without full consent. Wind farms, “green” mineral mining, and hydroelectric dams disrupt traditional livelihoods like reindeer herding. Framed as sustainable, these projects often dispossess Sámi, marginalizing their knowledge, rights, and self-determination for climate action. This issue was investigated by Tristen Taylor, Ingrid Gercama, and Nathalie Bertrams in “Green Colonialism: How New Mines in Sweden Threaten the Sámi.”

An image shows Sámi reindeer herder and joik singer Lars-Ánte Kuhmunen in a corral near Rensjön, Sweden, photographed by Nathalie Bertrams. Kuhmunen's 2005 album, "Birrasis," produced by Georg Buljio, is used with permission.

Plastic and synthetic debris are silently choking our oceans, posing horrific impacts on marine wildlife and ecosystems. As an island continent, marine debris is particularly important for Australia. Creatures become entangled, drown, or ingest concentrated toxins, jeopardizing the food chain. Plastics also transport and introduce new species into environments.

To address this critical issue, the CSIRO research team spearheaded the world-first Marine Debris Survey, studying plastic pollution along Australia's coastline. This vital research was published on September 9, 2012, by ABC Catalyst.

Taylor McKinnon, an accidental artist and dedicated activist, serves as the Southwest Director for the Center for Biological Diversity. He oversees efforts to protect wildlands and endangered species, spearheading campaigns to end federal fossil fuel leasing and ban uranium mining around the Grand Canyon.

In this artist talk, McKinnon explores nature photography as a practice of natural history, intertwining observation, art, love, and activism. He will discuss his process in the field and Lightroom, including the compositional freedom of long lenses and developing a minimalist style absent art theory. McKinnon will also share abstract landscape photography not featured in the exhibit.

Louisville has experienced clashes between armed militia and Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters, reflecting broader demonstrations across American cities. These confrontations, often reported by news outlets like the Lexington Herald Leader, are largely fueled by calls for justice.

Specifically, protesters demand accountability for the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, by Louisville Metro Police officers on March 13, 2020. In one notable incident, a heavily armed group calling themselves "American patriots" retreated from downtown after being confronted by BLM activists.

Many conservatives believe government's core purpose is to protect rights to life, liberty, and property. If greenhouse gas emissions threaten these fundamental rights, then government has a clear duty to act against such a threat.

Niskanen Center President Jerry Taylor will discuss the conservative and moral imperative for addressing climate change, outlining how effective solutions can be implemented.
