À propos de cet audio
A groundbreaking book that transforms the debate about global warming by offering a fresh perspective based on human needs as well as environmental concerns
Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and expensive actions now being considered to stop global warming will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, are often based on emotional rather than strictly scientific assumptions, and may very well have little impact on the world’s temperature for hundreds of years. Rather than starting with the most radical procedures, Lomborg argues that we should first focus our resources on more immediate concerns, such as fighting malaria and HIV/AIDS and assuring and maintaining a safe, fresh water supply - which can be addressed at a fraction of the cost and save millions of lives within our lifetime. He asks why the debate over climate change has stifled rational dialogue and killed meaningful dissent.
Lomborg presents us with a second generation of thinking on global warming that believes panic is neither warranted nor a constructive place from which to deal with any of humanity’s problems, not just global warming. Cool It promises to be one of the most talked about and influential books of our time.

Excellent approach to a very important topic
I really enjoyed this book, of course it did not change my mind because I already agreed with the approach.
I enjoyed the whole book but the two last chapters are the ones that I found more informative and important.
Highly recommend book

Rational view on climate change
Facts, facts, facts. It is something that people are missing in today's conversation about climate change.

Uneducated & incorrect
Listen half the book and it makes me very angry to listen to all that nonsense. Author argues everything against scientific evidence of global warming and comes up with numbers, percentages that are unexplained and unjustied.
