On Monday, right-wing contrarian Bjorn Lomborg argued that we have "twenty to forty years" to spend on researching new technology for global warming.
He argues that "efforts to reduce global warming pollution can wait, because 'coping with climate change is something we know how to do.'" Go tell this to Pakistan flood victims.
I guess "coping" now means death, illness, economic deficits, job losses, hunger, national security risks, environmental destruction, wildlife extinction and environmental racism.
It also means allowing nations to face the threat of extinction. When wildlife is threatened by extinction, our endangered species law may provide protected status while recovery remedies are implemented to save the wildlife. What about people threatened with rising sea levels that might swallow up entire nations? Are people as important as our wildlife?
