False alarms are good way to get funding for research, profits for media, power for politicians. What is not to like here?pic.twitter.com/04RjavfJzq
False Alarm: When people claim only 10 years left to fix climate, they are misinformed by alarmist exaggeration
It ignores trade-offs, a bit like saying the right speed limit is 3MPH!

Might be a useful analogy if every traffic death made highways more dangerous to the generations that followed. But that’s not how it works.

Generations that follow will have to use knowledge and technology to adapt and flourish in their environment, exactly what humans have done since the dawn of time. Fortunately for them, they will inherit the most knowledge and best tech the world has ever known. They will be fine

Finding great difficulty getting this book. Out of print along with Spellenberger book. Major bookstores not stocking. What is going on

It was out-of-stock over new years, but my understanding is that it was just shortage of Amazon trucks... It is back on amazon...https://www.amazon.com/False-Alarm-Climate-Change-Trillions/dp/1541647475 …

sorry, when you measure everything through $ value, we cant trust how you judge tradeoffs. for one, because you probably dont price all externalities, and secondly - some things just cannot be priced (like the satisfied healthy breathing of a child, lost to fossil air pollution)
