Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and staggeringly expensive actions now being considered to meet the challenges of global warming ultimately will have little impact on the world’s temperature. He suggests that rather than focusing on ineffective solutions that will cost us trillions of dollars over the coming decades, we should be looking for smarter, more cost-effective approaches (such as massively increasing our commitment to green energy R&D) that will allow us to deal not only with climate change but also with other pressing global concerns, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. And he considers why and how this debate has fostered an atmosphere in which dissenters are immediately demonized.

Bjørn Lomborg es un autor danés y presidente del think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center. Se hizo internacionalmente conocido por su exitoso y controvertido libro "The Skeptical Environmentalist", en el que argumenta que muchas de las costosas medidas adoptadas por científicos y responsables políticos para abordar el calentamiento global tendrán un impacto mínimo en el aumento de la temperatura mundial. Su trabajo se centra en la evaluación económica de los problemas medioambientales, proponiendo enfoques más racionales y eficaces. Lomborg aboga por una reflexión más profunda sobre los costes y beneficios reales de las políticas medioambientales.
