Watch Bjorn Lomborg on how Al Gore "oversold the message" on
climate change and how we should be spending more on alternative
energy research: The failure of the Copenhagen climate conference
in December 2009 revealed major flaws in the way the world's policy
makers have attempted to prevent dangerous levels of increases in
global temperatures. The expert authors in this specially
commissioned collection focus on the likely costs and benefits of a
very wide range of policy options, including geo-engineering,
mitigation of CO2, methane and black carbon', expanding forest,
research and development of low-carbon energy and encouraging green
technology transfer. For each policy, authors outline all of the
costs, benefits and likely outcomes, in fully referenced, clearly
presented chapters accompanied by shorter, critical alternative
perspectives. To further stimulate debate, a panel of economists,
including three Nobel laureates, evaluate and rank the
attractiveness of the policies. This authoritative and
thought-provoking book will challenge readers to form their own
conclusions about the best ways to respond to global warming."
