Global warming is the greatest threat to mankind. Wrong, says Bjorn Lomborg. In the last of his three exclusive essays for the Guardian, he argues that cutting carbon emissions is a pointless waste of money.

At the time of writing this piece, a main stream British “liberal” newspaper is running a three week article by Scientist Bjorn Lomberg entitled “Global Warming-are we doing the right thing?”


The paper writes:

This is not an unfamiliar tactic, for the corporate media system to try. But what disturbs me most is the fact that the average person on the street may all to easily be fooled into false sense of security, when being bombarded by a deluge of misrepresentative facts and figures.
