Sustainable Watersheds, Jonathan Z. Cannon Jan 2008

Sustainable Watersheds, Jonathan Z. Cannon

Michigan Law Review First Impressions

By any interpretation of sustainability, additional public and private investment should be made to protect and restore watersheds and their incorporated landscapes as sources of ecosystem services. This investment may require reducing current consumption but is justified because it will enhance the well being of the present generation and also enable future generations to enjoy a quality of life equal to our own.

Corn Futures: Consumer Politics, Health, And Climate Change, Jedediah Purdy, James Salzman Jan 2008

Corn Futures: Consumer Politics, Health, And Climate Change, Jedediah Purdy, James Salzman

Faculty Scholarship

The Mexicans have long been known as the Corn People, but that label perhaps provides a better fit for modern day Americans. The simple seeds of corn play a fundamental role unprecedented in the history of human agriculture. Corn now underpins two major sectors, arguably the two most important sectors, of our modern economy - food supply and energy supply. How we choose to consume this seed has far-ranging consequences for pressing issues as far apart as climate change and diabetes, energy policy and immigration, tropical deforestation and food riots.

Money Or Nothing: The Adverse Environmental Consequences Of Uncompensated Law Use Controls, Jonathan H. Adler Jan 2008

Money Or Nothing: The Adverse Environmental Consequences Of Uncompensated Law Use Controls, Jonathan H. Adler

Faculty Publications

The conventional wisdom holds that requiring compensation for environmental land-use controls would severely limit environmental protection efforts. There are increasing reasons to question this assumption. Both economic theory and recent empirical research demonstrate that failing to compensate private landowners for the costs of environmental regulations discourages voluntary conservation efforts and can encourage the destruction of environmental resources. The lack of a compensation requirement also means that land-use regulation is underpriced as compared to other environmental protection measures for which government agencies must pay. This results in the "overconsumption" of land-use regulations relative to other environmental protection measures that could be …


Water Marketing As An Adaptive Response To The Threat Of Climate Change, Jonathan H. Adler Jan 2008

Water Marketing As An Adaptive Response To The Threat Of Climate Change, Jonathan H. Adler

Faculty Publications

Demographic changes and existing water use patterns have placed tremendous pressures upon water supplies, particularly in the West. Global climate change will exacerbate pressures on water resources. The gradual warming of the atmosphere is certain to change the distribution and availability of water supplies, with potentially severe consequences for freshwater supplies. While climate change will have a significant impact on water resources through changes in the timing and volume of precipitation, altered evaporation rates, and the like, the precise nature, magnitude, timing, and distribution of such climate-induced changes are unknown. This uncertainty complicates the task of water managers who are …


Anti-Conservation Incentives, Jonathan H. Adler Jan 2008

Anti-Conservation Incentives, Jonathan H. Adler

Faculty Publications

Several recent empirical studies have indicated that the Endangered Specifies Act (ESA) discourages species conservation on private land. This is because the law encourages landowners to shoot, shovel and shut up before federal authorities discover the species are present or may move onto the land. Most worrisome, the studies suggest that the net effect of the ESA on private land could be negative. Habitat loss and fragmentation represent the greatest threat to endangered species because private land is indispensable to environmental conservation.

Executive Constraint, Judicial Uncertainty, And Legislative Complacency: Washington Responds With A Progressive Approach To Climate Change, Daniel A. Brown Jan 2008

Executive Constraint, Judicial Uncertainty, And Legislative Complacency: Washington Responds With A Progressive Approach To Climate Change, Daniel A. Brown

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment argues that Washington's renewable energy tax incentives likely discriminate against interstate commerce. More importantly, however, it contends that although these types of tax incentives violate the Commerce Clause, Congress can and should pass legislation authorizing their use under the state police power.


The Frontier Of Eminent Domain, Alexandra B. Klass Jan 2008

The Frontier Of Eminent Domain, Alexandra B. Klass

University of Colorado Law Review

The Supreme Court's 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London brought the issues of takings and public use into the national spotlight. A groundswell of opposition to government- initiated "economic development takings" led to eminent domain reform legislation in over forty states. Many people are surprised to learn, however, that another type of economic development taking is alive and well in many western states that are rich in natural resources. In those states, oil, gas, and mining companies have the power of eminent domain under state constitutions or state statutes to take private property to develop coal, oil, …

The "Stern Review" And Its Critics: Implications For The Theory And Practice Of Benefit-Cost Analysis, Daniel H. Cole Jan 2008

The "Stern Review" And Its Critics: Implications For The Theory And Practice Of Benefit-Cost Analysis, Daniel H. Cole

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The UK's Treasury's "Stern Review: The Economics of Climate Change" (Oct. 2006) reached dramatically different conclusions and policy recommendations than most earlier economic analyses of climate change. It found that the costs of climate change, as well as the potential net benefits of greenhouse gas reductions, were much higher that previously estimated, and consequently recommended more rapid and extensive cuts in emissions than other economist analysts. The Stern Review estimated that a 1% annual investment of global GDP in mitigation could prevent a 5% (or more) reduction in annual global GDP from climate change harm, forever. A number of prominent …
