Alas, for poor countries, this “false” conflict is all too real; and I’m in the save our economies camp.
I have written far too many commentaries on this topic to count. Unfortunately, they’ve done little more than lump me together with the “heretics” trying to temper increasing alarms about climate change with calming facts about environmental protection and conservation.
Therefore, on behalf of all proud heretics in this respect, let me hasten to clarify: We acknowledge climate change as a fact but hardly an existential threat. We simply maintain that there are many “Global Priorities Bigger than Climate Change” – as the critically acclaimed Danish environmentalist, Professor Bjorn Lomborg, proffered in his now seminal TED talk in 2005.
