Good & Bad News from Paris Climate Summit
The good news is the Gates-led green energy innovation fund. This is only a start, but it's a game-changer. It has been long-advocated by Lomborg and Copenhagen Consensus, as Bloomberg notes in 'What Bill Gates shares with the Skeptical Environmentalist'. Here's Lomborg's own take, written in Paris.
In his syndicated column 'A Climate Agreement Powered by Hypocrisy', Lomborg outlines the bad news:
- The Paris Treaty is the costliest treaty in history,
- It will do very little to temperature rises.
Lomborg makes the case against the Paris Treaty in 'The Trillion Pound Bill' in the Mail on Sunday.
 
And on December 1, Lomborg provided testimony from Paris to the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology hearing on the climate negotiations.
