Bjorn Lomborg is asking some tough questions about the answer to Climate Change problems.  His recent film, "Cool It" based on one of his books is the most sobering discussion of the correct actions to take.  The key take-away: We need to think more holistically about the appropriate solutions to curb the effects of climate change by having a rational focused conversations examining the costs and benefits of different approaches. For example:

Right now it costs about $20 to cut a ton of carbon dioxide, but the benefits are only around $2.  Maybe we shouldn't focus so much on cutting carbon, rather let's focus on cutting the cost of cutting CO2.

Watch here:


I'm with Bjorn on this.  Forget trying to legislate global solutions that won't give us the benefit we need, let's focus on driving innovation and becoming leaders of alternative energy by spending siginificantly more on R&D.
