Description

Book Synopsis: “A very important and superbly argued book” (Matt Ridley) by the bestselling “skeptical environmentalist” argues that panic over climate change is causing more harm than good Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Arctic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world.Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it’s not the apocalyptic threat that we’ve been told it is. Projections of Earth’s imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education.A new epilogue details climate lessons from a year of global economic shutdown due to COVID-19, and from our increasingly costly but often very ineffective climate policies. False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong. It points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and anxious about climate change? Do you want a fresh perspective that cuts through the panic and fear? Look no further than False Alarm, the thought-provoking and eye-opening book by bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg.

Lomborg, known as the "skeptical environmentalist," takes a critical look at the climate change narrative that dominates our news feeds. He argues that while climate change is real, the catastrophic predictions and calls for immediate and extreme action are based on flawed science and economics.

Don't let yourself be fooled by the doom and gloom. False Alarm presents a more balanced and rational view of climate change. Lomborg explores the true impact of rising temperatures and challenges the costly and ineffective policies currently in place. He advocates for redirecting our resources towards more pressing issues, such as improving education and healthcare.

With a new epilogue that draws lessons from the global economic shutdown caused by COVID-19, False Alarm is a timely and indispensable read. It will challenge your assumptions and empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about our future.
