'The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See (part 1 of 8)' on you tube.
BTW there was a report called the Stern review which basically did a cost benefit analysis of tackling global warming and it is WAY more beneficial to tackle the problem than try to cope with the effects of global warming. Though how the hell you cope with hundreds of millions displaced, and killed, mass starvation and the loss of 50% of the earths species I just don't know!

planets from by 2100. Even if by some crazy miracle we could terraform Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon and the asteroid belt we still couldn't all live like Europeans let alone Americans. WE HAVE TO GROW UP AND FACE REALITY instead of listening to bonkers out of touch economists!
There is a great example of exponential growth here:
'David Suzuki Speaks at the 2006 Green Festival in San Francisco ' on google video (starting at the 30 minute mark. Or go here:

destroying the planet! It seems that economists have a mental defect that will not allow them to confront realities on the limits to growth. At around the 12 minute mark he claims that the poorest people will be as rich as Americans will be in 2100. This is complete nonsense! For everyone to live as Europeans do we would need 3 planet Earths worth of resources to support everyone, if we all lived like Americans we would need more than 5! Where the hell does Lombourg think we will get 4 more

What about stopping people hoarding obscene amounts of wealth and stopping wars. The Iraq war cost $3 trillion alone!. So now Mr Lombourg give it up and go away!
I would also like him to say that capitalism has had its day... There are 6.7 billion people on the planet, global GDP is around $65 trillion giving around $10,000 each. At this level of consumption we are taking between 1/3 and 1/4 more than the planet can replace each year. So if you are making more than $7500 a year, you are

I love it, especially the commercial at the end. I think that says all about what that crap is all about.

What do you perceive with ethanol and nuclear? Do you believe these changes will be for the better?
How can we stop climate change?

"Emily Matthews, a forest expert and senior associate with the World Resources Institute, shows that Lomborg reaches wildly inaccurate conclusions about deforestation by fudging data or failing to interpret it correctly."

"Norman Myers, an Honorary Visiting Fellow of Oxford University, a member of the U.S. National Academy of the Sciences, and a recipient of several of the world's most prestigious environmental awards, looks at Lomborg on biodiversity and concludes that he lacks even "a preliminary understanding of the science in question."

Biologist E.O. Wilson -- two-time Pulitzer prize winner, discoverer of hundreds of new species, and one of the world's greatest living scientists -- DEBUNKS Lomborg's analysis of extinction rates."
