re: #649 beens21

on AGW , I am reading The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming’ by Bjorn Lomborg, a committed green guy and AGW believer. But, he claims the hysterics have taken over, the science is now dominated by politics ( he’s been called a heretic by his peers), and that all reputable economic cost/benefit analyses of AGW reject the Kyoto and similar accords.The best and highest use of funds should be used to remedy malaria, AIDS,clean water,sewage and power to about half of the present inhabitants of the planet, rather than try to reduce temps by 0.7 degrees F by the year 2100, which is the net effect of the Kyoto accord prediction.

Sounds like a rational person.

Kyoto was never about reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It’s merely a way for underdeveloped countries to ‘tax’ developed (prosperous) countries. It just shifts money around the planet and does nothing to reduce emissions as proven in Europe …. lots of changes, increased emissions.
