Michael: Kunskap i detta område är viktigt då det florerar så mycket alarmism på tveksamma grunder, och förslag på mycket ineffektiva och kostsamma åtgärder som inte leder till en bättre värld.

Sweden on Mar 08, 2024

David Deschesne: The author, Lomborg, provides an excellent analysis of the climate change grift with an objective and fact-based presentation based on numbers and real-world data. While the author does believe in man-caused climate change via CO2, he admits that it is nowhere near the problem the grifters are making it out to be. One after another he addresses with real world data the climate change mantra from increased wildfires to flooding and the polar ice caps melting and shows in detail how these problems are being blown way out of proportion by charlatans and propagandists. While he believes CO2 is a problem, it's not THE problem...he does not let his ideology get in the way of presenting real facts that expose the climate grift for what it is - a grift and a con. While Lomborg leans to the political left, this is a surprisingly and refreshingly objective analysis of the climate change agenda from that ideological position. Lomborg shows how the world is not going to end in 12 years (or 500 years) so everyone can just calm down and spend a couple days reading this book to bring some context and perspective to the discussion. Lomborg assures us the climate is changing, and it has been for...

MARK VANDEBERG: Great insight to the global warming issue and how to effectively combat it. Debunks much of the current hysteria and wrong headed approach being used today. Backed up with iron clad research, graphs and charts.

United States on Feb 11, 2024

S. Ben-Meyer: This book responds to climate alarmists with well-reasoned arguments for making decisions based on rationality rather than ideology. It is well-written and interesting.

United States on Feb 08, 2024

marco carrara: Lomborg is as always reliably strong on data and short on empty statements. This book is vaccine against both denial and fanaticism.

Italy on Jan 28, 2024

Finn Poutynski: You won't get any rest reading this. Lomborg is constantly bombarding you with information and studies on the different topics revolving around carbon emissions, but I think it is a good read. For climate change itself I would still recommend reading Steven Koonin's ''Unsettled'' first, as it explains thoroughly climate science, then this one is a great addition.

Canada on Jan 26, 2024

Phil R: An objective essay on the phenomenon of climate change and the folly of current policies designed to deal with it. Well balanced, well researched, easy to read and digest.

Every grand standing politician jumping on the climate change band wagon should be forced to read this book, and tested to make sure they have understood its content, before they say another word on the subject. And Greta Thunberg too.

United Kingdom on Dec 15, 2023

William K. Howle: The writer was neither a proponent or a denier of the aspects of global warming. Tried to make a case for the facts and the results if either group tends to go overboard.

United States on May 15, 2023

Mauro F Rebelo: Lomborg is completely transparent about his sources and models. That makes it possible to question his data or his conclusions. This means a strong commitment with his views. This is integrity. And that is why this book is a must read to have climate and development conversations.

Brazil on Feb 06, 2023

Brian LaRocca: Anyone familiar with Bjorn Lomborg will know he believes that any climate change mitigation comes at a cost and that we should analyze that cost versus potential benefits. Lomborg seems to use widely available information, mostly from the United Nations. I cannot attest to the accuracy of his numbers but, even if remotely correct, it seems like we should heed his advice. However, I fear that only louder, more hysterical Scandinavians will be listened too.

In reviewing literature that ran counter to this book's claims, I could only find criticism by a Jeremy Grantham-backed think tank. Grantham himself seems to be a neo-Malthusian so I am skeptical of his views as well as the terseness of the ripostes so far written. However, of course, we should not be dogmatic if better work does come out.

My Summary of This Important Work:

The public's current perception of climate change is based on ill-informed fear. The media prints the scariest sounding narratives, scientists get funding for apocalyptic sounding research needs, and politicians push budget busting subsidies doled out to favored constituents. As a result, four in ten in the US believe global warming will...
