How to Worry About Climate Change, and Everything Else Happening in Washington Today

Oren Cass is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York, where he focuses on energy, environmental, and anti-poverty policy. Previously, he was the Domestic Policy Director for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in 2011-12, a Manager at Bain & Company, and an editor of the Harvard Law Review. Last year, POLITICO named him one of fifty thinkers, doers, and visionaries transforming American politics.

Oren will talk about his recent work on the policy challenge of climate change: what kind of problem is it, what other problems are like it, and what lessons does that hold for how policymakers should address it? Most of the time will be dedicated to an open-ended Q&A on topics of interest to students, including climate change but also how to make sense of the 2016 campaign, the first month of the Trump administration, and the key policy debates in Washington on issues like healthcare and trade.
