CEI is an outspoken anthropogenic (human-caused) [[climate change skeptic]] and an opponent of government action that would require limits on [[greenhouse gas]] emissions. It favors free-market environmentalism, claiming that market institutions are more effective in protecting the environment than is government In March 1992, CEI’s founder [[Fred Smith]] said of anthropogenic [[climate change]]: "Most of the indications right now are it looks pretty good. Warmer winters, warmer nights, no effects during the day because of clouding, sounds to me like we’re moving to a more benign planet, more rain, richer, easier productivity to agriculture."
