Wall Street Journal. BJØRN LOMBORG, Nov 9 2009. Global Warming as Seen From Bangladesh The following article is part of a series leading up to the December United Nations conference in Copenhagen on how ordinary people in different countries view global warming. When the monsoon rains come, Momota Begum and her husband and children must take turns sleeping in their tiny concrete house's one bed to escape the waste and human excrement that can wash in from outside. They live in a three-decade old refugee camp in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is run for Urdu-speaking people who found themselves on...

«Allarghiamo le nuvole bianche sul Pacifico» Il progetto «L' operazione va fatta immettendo acqua di mare attraverso 200 navi senza equipaggio. Costo: 6 miliardi. Ma ogni euro speso ne farebbe risparmiare mille» Bjørn Lomborg - 44 anni, danese - è probabilmente l' esperto di surriscaldamento climatico più scettico rispetto alla strada presa dai governi per combattere l' effetto serra. Pensa che il taglio delle emissioni di anidride carbonica effettuato subito, «del 50, no del 60, no dell' 80 per cento come dicono rincorrendosi i governi, è per...

WALL STREET JOURNAL By BJORN LOMBORG Climate Change and Malaria in Africa Limiting carbon emissions won't do much to stop disease in Zambia. NOVEMBER 1, 2009 When he first got sick, Samson Banda didn't realize he had malaria. Only after he came down with a serious fever did he end up at a clinic in the Bauleni slum compound in Lusaka, Zambia. The clinic has just a few nurses and staff with basic medical skills. Locals can wait for an entire day to be seen. Unchecked malaria is serious. Nine out of 10 of the world's annual one million malaria-caused deaths occur in sub-Saharan...

(...) Torethy Frank, a 39-year-old woman carving out a subsistence lifestyle on Vanuatu's Nguna Island, is one of those "innocent people." Yet, she has never heard of the problem that her government rates as a top priority. "What is global warming?" she asks a researcher for the Copenhagen Consensus Center. (...)

Panika szerzy się wśród działaczy na rzecz drastycznych cięć emisji dwutlenku węgla. Zaczyna być oczywiste, że szeroko roztrąbione spotkanie w Kopenhadze w grudniu tego roku nie dostarczy wiążącej umowy międzynarodowej, która doprowadziłaby do istotnej zmiany w kwestii globalnego ocieplenia.

В начале сентября пятеро нобелевских лауреатов по экономике, объединившие усилия под крышей организации «Копенгагенский консенсус», огласили результаты исследования экономической эффективности разных методов борьбы с глобальным потеплением. BL 2009 Sept Russian NW-39-258.pdf

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. Rappelant que l'on meurt globalement plus de froid que de chaud sur Terre, il suggère notamment que le réchauffement climatique est susceptible de sauver davantage de vies que d'en détruire. Il considère également qu'il est plus efficace et beaucoup moins coûteux de lutter contre les effets du réchauffement...

Art arda düzenlenen iklim konferanslarının aslında pek de bir yararı olmadığını savunanlar da var. Bunlardan biri de Danimarkalı entelektüel Björn Lomborg.

09-21-2009: Climate Change: A Perilous Path Our costly ''solutions'' could be more harmful than global warming itself. 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. (...)

When world leaders meet for the climate-change summit in Copenhagen this December, they will make decisions that will affect the world for many generations. Three months before that meeting, there is an alarming absence of serious discussion about what these decisions should be. What passes for debate is usually a shouting match between those who believe that climate change is not real and those who believe that it will end life on Earth. We are all, it seems, either "deniers" or "believers." (...)
