"Brimming with useful facts and common sense. . . . [Lomborg
presents] a calm analysis of what today's best science tells us
about global warming and its risks. . . . His analysis is smart and
refreshing, and it may bridge at least one divide in our too
divided culture." --Kimberley Strassel, "Wall Street Journal"
""Cool It "is a highly valuable contribution to the climate-policy
literature. In clear and concise prose, Lomborg diagnoses the
problems plaguing contemporary climate policy, injecting a needed
tonic of realism and common sense into the climate debate. And for
that very reason, it is sure to make Lomborg's critics
hot-under-the-collar." --Jonathan Adler, "National Review"
"A reasoned addition to the debate about what to do about climate
change. And it is sure to provoke just as much controversy as his
last book." --"Esquire"
"Bjorn Lomborg is the best-informed and most humane advocate for
environmental change in the world today. . . . [He] is only
interested in real problems, and he has no patience with media
fear-mongering. . . . In the end, his ability to put climate in a
global perspective is perhaps the book's greatest value. Lomborg
and "Cool It" are our best guides to our shared environmental
future." --Michael Crichton, Amazon.com
"Bjorn Lomborg's rational and compassionate suggestions would save
more lives, preserve more wilderness and have a better chance of
eventually halting man-made global warming than hysterical
catastrophism, global treaties, and high-minded energy rationing.
Read this ingenious book." --Matt Ridley, author of "The Origins of
Virtue"
"Lomborg affirms that the planet is warming, but questions why so
much of the policy debateis framed around the idea of imminent
catastrophe. This book dares to offer straightforward new thinking
about how best to respond. Indispensable." --Clive Crook, associate
editor, "Financial Times"; senior editor, "The Atlantic Monthly
"
"At last we have a book that puts the hype of global warming into
perspective. Bjorn Lomborg's eye-opening book, "Cool It," examines
and meticulously documents climate change's effects and proposed
solutions. An extraordinarily timely and supremely useful book."
--John Naisbitt, author of "Megatrends
"
"Brilliant! A devastating critique of the prevailing climate change
hysteria. This book provides an overwhelming case for re-assessing
where exactly our policy priorities should lie if we are genuinely
concerned with world welfare rather than with making noble--if
futile--gestures that, at best, make us feel good but actually do a
lot of harm." --Wilfred Beckerman, professor emeritus of economics,
Oxford University
