Book Reviews of Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)
Book Review: A Common Sense Approach to Global Warming
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally, a book comes out that puts aside the hysteria which typically accompanies the discussion regarding global warming, and focuses on practical solutions to solving the problem. Lomborg first skillfully puts to rest much of the global warming propaganda, and then takes a "big picture" approach to suggest other issues that should be addressed before global warming in order to improve living conditions for all mankind. That's not to say that Lomborg doesn't offer solutions for global warming. However, his resolutions are more realistic than the "immediately ban everything that causes a polutant" mentality of many global warming adherents. As a result of the level-headed approach that Lomborg espouses, Cool It is valuable reading for anyone on either side of the global warming issue.
