Fall 2016
In late July, President Obama quietly signed a new law mandating product labels for foods containing ingredients produced with modern genetic engineering techniques—that is, “genetically modified organisms” (GMOs). In the new issue of Regulation, Jonathan Adler explains why mandatory GMO content labels are unscientific, unnecessary, and likely unconstitutional. Also in this issue, Christina Sandefur looks at government officials cracking down on the fundamental right to earn income from one’s property and Pierre Lemieux explores why France’s economy hasn’t crashed – yet.

Lukewarming: The New Climate Science that Changes Everything
Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. "Chip" Knappenberger
In Lukewarming: The New Climate Science that Changes Everything, Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger explain the real science and spin behind the headlines and come to a provocative conclusion: global warming is not hot—it’s lukewarm. Climate change is real, it is partially man-made, but it is clearer than ever that its impact has been exaggerated—with many predictions now being rendered implausible or impossible. This new paperback edition of the book is an expanded edition of last year’s ebook-only edition of Lukewarming, and includes updates in science and policy following the accords reached at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.
