What's the cost-benefit analysis for slowing climate change? On the next Your Call we'll kick off our weeklong programming on climate change, with a conversation on the economic impacts of global warming. Opponents of legislation to combat global warming point to the toll it will take on the economy, but what are the economic risks if we continue on the current path? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feeback@yourcallradio.org. Which of the proposed solutions might actually have economic benefits? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
