Climate Change; How to
Finding the balance between preventing global warming and adapting to the effects of global warming is one of the most important policy questions to date, but is often ignored claims an industry news article by greenenergy.uk.com.
Environmental campaigners are adamant that we should be doing everything we can to lessen global warming, and then focus on adaptation strategies, continues the report.
However, according to a study released by Danish professor Bjorn Lomborg it is suggested that cheaper solutions are needed in order to slow down global warming, for example painting roofs white, instead of carbon emission reduction programs which could cost countries $250 billion a year.
In a contrary view to government research papers regarding climate change, the report challenges the plans favoured by the United Nations to force industrial polluters to reduce carbon dioxide – the major manmade gas that is blamed for climate change, and the report also suggests that it would be more favourable to adapt to the changes brought about my climate change instead of tackling the problem itself.
The paper which explored a CO2 tax as an alternative was prepared for the Danish research group Copenhagen Consensus Centre, and was lead by Mr. Lomborg, a Copenhagen Business School professor who has gathered much attention for criticizing UN-led efforts to tackle global warming.
