Hello Scholars,
Welcome to the Week 13 Post. I think that in the past few years the issue of human impact on the earth especially in the area of Carbon Emmissions has surrounded our Nation with a sense of urgency and sometimes fear. With our last weeks post on the topic of Al Gore's : THE INCONVIENENT TRUTH, I wanted to challenge our previous way of thinking by hearing an alternative point of view. Not everyone believes in Al Gore's Nobel Prize Winning piece. I'd like to introduce you to someone who has challenged the Al Gore way of thinking on global carbon emmissions. I realize that this may cause some of you to think about your beliefs on global warming but I guess thats the point. Post those thoughts and comments hear. I'm always interested in reading your thought provoking points of view.Go to the following link and listen to Mr. Bjorn Lomborg discuss his controversal book COOL IT. just hit the play button underneath where is says "An hour with Bjorn Lomborg" (you don't have to listen to the whole thing.)http://www.punditreview.com/2007/09/bj%c3%b8rn-lomborg-discusses-cool-it-on-pundit-review-radio/Then read this excerpt for the book itself...http://www.lomborg.com/cool_it/sample/?PHPSESSID=750039748bac8714ded2a080458ae4b3
Have a Great Week!!!
Mr D.

i agree with the author of cool it
everyone is looking at all the negative that we fail very so often to look at the other side of it
dont get me wrong global warming and the disappearance of our ozone layer definitely is a bad thing, but not all things have a totally all around bad side
Honestly, I had never even thought about the positive sides of global warming and how little we could truly make a difference if we tried to control it. There is good and bad to everything that happens and if you try fixing the bad things could possibly get worse. I completely agree with the author and K.Stokes :], most definitly.
WOW,
this guy knows his stuff...
i got on youtube and watched him talk to a group of adults and he just blew there minds with his ideas. i agree with him 100% and cant wait to find his book. i think that he has great ideas about how to spend our time dealing with the everyday stress of trying to keep the world from meltng or frezzing over...lol in the radio show I think it was the first guy who was talking made a comment about how the earth can not be set like a thermostat and we need to look at the solutions and not just the problems.
