Johan Norberg: COLD IS THE WORST KILLER:
"The big story in Dagens Nyheter today is that thousands of Swedes will die every year because of higher temperatures. That´s correct, but shouldn´t they also write about the thousands of deaths from cold that will be avoided?
As Bjørn Lomborg points out in his new book Cool it! (now in Swedish) each year 200,000 Europeans die each year because from excess heat, but many more - 1.5 million - die from excess cold. In the UK an increase in temperature by 2 degrees will probably result in another 2,000 deaths from heat, but in 20,000 fewer deaths from cold."
Global warming is a nice bi-product of economic growth and should be seen as a blessing rather than something to fear! I mean who doesnt want a warmer climate?
In these cold wintry times im sure a lot of scandinavians would welcome a little global warming and think about how it would prevent a lot of broken bones in the ski slopes, frozen fingers plus lower heating costs!
Global warming is Good!

Bjørn Lomborg is Good
"The greenhouse effect is extremely doubtful"
Bjørn Lomborg "The true state of the planet", Politiken, Denmark, 12th Jan. 1998.
"Thus, it is also expected that the oil price will once again decline from $27 to the low $20s until 2020."
Bjørn Lomborg in "The Skeptical Environmentalist", 2001, p. 122.
"..det är rätt sällsynt att människor står kvar på en strand och låter sig dränkas om de har 100 år att flytta på sig, apropå havsvattenhöjningarna."
