Document Summary
Let"s keep our cool about global warming by bjorn lomborg. Global investment in research and development of non-carbon emitting technologies. Doomsday theories/claims do not match the facts. Lowering sea levels will lower economic growth and make poor nations poorer. Co2 emission taxes must not be too high or too low. Co2 emission taxes will not move us closer to finding better options for the future. All nations need to spend money toward research and development of non- carbon emitting energy technologies. Argues that these fears are overblown and we should spend money on more current issues. He says that science and economics say otherwise. He"s very skillful at using language, he knows peer review will have more impact. His argument isn"t that global warming isn"t a problem, but his is an economical argument: it"s unwise to spend all that money. He"s all about human welfare, so he says that this will help humans.
