[But can we afford to blow $45 trillion on every one of this guy's irrational fears?]

Yes, I believe the world’s climate is changing. Even if I didn’t believe in change, the possibility is there. You can bet against that possibility, but if you lose the loss is enormous. If you bet on change, and support your wager with climate solutions, well, sure you could lose, all of that effort and money for naught. But the two possible losses are hugely different. We buy insurance for everything, protecting ourselves against unacceptable outcomes. Even the slightest possibility of climate change is acceptable?

Lomborg - There are many ways to move beyond the carbon Crusade

The prominent climate economist Professor Richard Tol of Hamburg University has analyzed the benefits and costs of cutting carbon now versus cutting it in the future. Cutting early will cost $17.8 trillion, whereas cutting later will cost just $2 trillion. Nonetheless, the reduction in carbon-dioxide concentration – and hence temperature – in 2100 will be greater from the future reductions. Cutting emissions now is much more expensive, because there are few, expensive alternatives to fossil fuels. Our money simply doesn’t buy as much as it will when green energy sources are more cost-efficient.

The notion that Mrs. Stabenow can sense climate volatility while jetting about is risible, but the fact that she serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and is a leading proponent of the job-killing, growth-destroying cap-and-trade legislation is no laughing matter.

Think about this? While Americans will be forced to pay for cleaner energy most countries are ignoring the false global warming issue.

Grassroots to have input in global decisions | The Jakarta Post

Under the World Wide Views on Global Warming project funded by the government of Denmark, the host country of the conference, each country should gather the voices of 200,000 citizens to discuss climate change issues.

Simultaneous consultation events will be held by gathering 100,000 citizens in Jakarta and Makassar on Sept. 26, project officer for Indonesia, Ipung Purwandono, said.

“Most of the selected participants are from grass-roots levels, such as farmers and fishermen, who are believed to be the group most prone to impacts of climate change,” Ipung said.

The organizer has trained 40 people who will later discuss issues of climate change with program participants.
