On September 16-17, 2004 about 35 people convened for a workshop at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory in Fort Collins, Colorado to discuss reconciliation of supply of and demand (RSD) for carbon cycle science. Participants included carbon cycle scientists, program managers, social and policy scientists, people who make decisions implicated by carbon cycle science, as well as a number of graduate students. The workshop focused on characterizing supply, understanding demand, and learning lessons from other areas or research where RSD has been an important component of science policy (e.g., seasonal climate forecasting). The workshop focused closely on three cases in which to explore RSD in some detail: agro-ecosystems, the urban setting, and an international case study focused on the Large-Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Program in the Amazon. Six background papers were commissioned for the workshop focused on the methods and literature of RSD, a big-picture characterization and history of carbon cycle science, and on each of the case studies.

The point is no economist disputes the basic supply and demand model. BTW, some people still believe in a flat earth too. As well, just because people make a lot of noise about it doesn't validate their argument. Most of their disagreements are based on fundamental misunderstandings of an issue that they don't understand. It's the same with evolution. People make a lot of noise about how they think it's flawed, immoral etc.

Gambling opponents say that supply drives demand. They argue that people would not be tempted to gamble or to gamble as often if opportunities were not so prevalent and widespread. They see gambling as an irresistible temptation with potentially dangerous consequences. It bothers them that gambling opportunities are presented, promoted, and supported not only by the business world but ... by government leaders and politicians—people who are supposed to represent the best interests of the public they serve.
