That link seems to be to the Forbes home page. Which story did you mean to link to? Was it this one?

Forbes Welcome

Meanwhile

Jeffrey Sachs writing in the FT



Kumi Naidoo, quoted in the Guardian.

I cannot imagine any other topic on which all the countries n the world would agree unanimously. We've had a scientific consensus for decades, now it has brought about a political consensus.

Finally.

These countries are hardly likely to turn down an opportunity to increase their justification to tax people more are they?

It's going to cost more than a World War, slow technological progress to a snails pace due to energy shortages and rising costs, save no one from disease or famine, and have zero effect on climate.

Apart from that, it's the best thing ever to happen to mankind.

Lomborg:

The Paris Treaty promises to keep temperature rises below 2°C. However, the actual promises made here will do almost nothing to achieve that. It is widely accepted that to keep temperature rises below 2°C, we have to reduce CO₂ emissions by 6,000Gt.

Widely accepted on Planet Lomborg perhaps. Given that the total emissions by say, the USA are around 250Gt since 1970, WTF is he on about?

Dodgy, you linked the piece, where does Lomborg get this figure?

Bjørn Lomborg, just a scientist with a different opinion? « RealClimate

This is what we should really take note of - context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkdbSxyXftc&feature=youtu.be As it says there is little parallel between CO2 and warming/cooling.

So an ad hominen attack on Lomberg is the answer

 

[DimPrawn]

It's going to have no impact on global conflicts or prevent war.
Save no one from radicalisation or terrorism.
Cure no disease, give no one better medical treatment, ease anyone's suffering or give them clean water.
Protect us from asteroids or natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions or tsunami.
It won't take humans to Mars and beyond.

But is might save a few PPM of plant food entering the atmosphere.

Utter disgrace. Talk about humanity losing the plot with introspective, meaningless nonsense.

Oh, so you're on the "overblow the threat terrorism poses to humanity" bandwagon instead.
