Video: Trailer for Bjorn Lomborg’s Cool It Documentary
Bjorn Lomborg, author of the book The Skeptical Environmentalist, is not a nut-job global warming denier. He just thinks the debate around the topic has become over-heated and alarmist and says the solutions to address the problem are a lot less expensive and cumbersome than those currently being discussed. As you can imagine, Lomborg is a controversial figure in climate change and environmental circles. The film, Cool It (trailer above) examines this controversy. Hit the jump to also watch his 2007 TED presentation on what ‘Our priorities for saving the world’ should be.
