Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This book is excellent in that it is neither written from the point of view of an alarmist nor of a denier. This middle finely ground is sadly lacking from the climate change debate in this day and age. Non-economists might find the constant cost-benefit analysis somewhat hard to fathom, but there are very few hard-to-understand parts. Obviously, the science commonly used to justify Lomborg’s claims have, and will continue to be, challenged. Nevertheless, it is useful just to point out the danger of climate change hysteria that predominates the media. My only problem with this book is the disproportionately significant section at the back of the book represented to notes. While this is necessary, it means the book is substantially shorter than it appears. I enjoyed the book and a little deeply disappointed that so much of it is bibliography. But I still warmly recommend it.
