Climate economics until recently mostly treated global warming as a challenge of distributing scarce resources (e.g., the right to pollute), not of creating new ones (e.g., cheap zero carbon energy sources). Climate models treated technological innovation as a given, not as a dependent variable.

So we asked our loyal Facebook Fans what animal should represent Independents, and got some interesting responses...

Most Popular Response: Owl "because we are wise" 

Close Second: Eagle "signifying its freedom from the tyranny of the two party dictatorship" 

Honorable Mention: Tyrannosaurus Rex with robotic gun arms

Personal Favorite: The honey badger because they're the world's most fearless creature
