(...) Torethy Frank, a 39-year-old woman carving out a subsistence lifestyle on Vanuatu's Nguna Island, is one of those "innocent people."

Bjørn Lomborg Ne niant ni la réalité du changement climatique, ni le fait qu'il résulte de l'activité humaine, l'auteur estime toutefois trop élevé le coût des politiques préconisées dans le cadre du protocole de Kyoto pour des résultats sans doute très modestes.

Il considère également qu'il est plus efficace et beaucoup moins coûteux de lutter contre les effets du réchauffement...

Evidence is growing that relatively cheap policies like climate engineering and non-carbon energy research could effectively prevent suffering from global warming, both in the short and long term. Unfortunately, political leaders gathering at a special meeting of the United Nations in New York this week will focus on a very different response. (...)
