Here is the quote of the day taken from the Mail On Line site:
Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, said that since 1980, climate models had on average overstated the extent of warming by between 79 and 159 per cent.
‘This does not mean that there is not some global warming, but it likely means that temperature rises will be lower than originally expected. That fact makes alarmist scenarios ever more implausible.’
He added: ‘The EU will pay $250 billion [£166 billion] for its current climate policies each and every year until the end of the century. For almost $20 trillion, temperatures will be reduced by a negligible 0.05C.’
The full article is here.
Remember, if the European Union is paying a quarter of a trillion dollars per year for essentially no result regarding climate change, the United States under president Obama is in the process of doing a similar thing. The federal government is in the process of destroying the coal industry even though Congress has not agreed to that move. Obama is using executive orders and regulations from the EPA to force low cost coal power plants to be shut. This will raise energy costs and slow or stop America's economic growth while doing essentially nothing regarding the climate.
America deserves better.
