False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fa

Description: False Alarm by Bjorn Lomborg Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An "important" (Times UK) and "meticulously researched" (Forbes) book by the "skeptical environmentalist" argues that panic over climate change is causing more harm than good Publisher Description Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Artic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world.Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but its not the apocalyptic threat that weve been told it is. Projections of Earths imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education.False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong -- and points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all.
