……对这么重大的问题却如此漫不经心、不屑一顾。环保主义者在过去 40 年里，每隔 5 年就要大喊一次“我们都要完蛋了！”。去读读比约恩·隆伯格（Bjorn Lomborg）的《怀疑的环保主义者》（The Skeptical Environmentalist）第一章吧。环境政策领域很多至今依然受人尊敬的大名鼎鼎的人物，过去为了推行激进的环境议程，极其自私且严重虚伪，而那些议程说实话根本没有依据……

……接着把那套“末日陈词滥调”批得体无完肤。他展示了意识形态化的环保主义者是如何一次又一次地滥用、曲解和无视那些与他们悲观预言相悖的海量数据。在《怀疑的环保主义者》全书中，隆伯格证明了环保游说团体不过就是一群利益集团，为了在资金和政治上生存下去，必须大肆贩卖末日恐慌。隆伯格指出，“随着这个行业……

有多重要？看看《怀疑的环保主义者》作者比约恩·隆伯格（Bjørn Lomborg）的观点吧。比如他说，要改善人类生活，把全世界的钱花在其他地方要远比花在目前针对 AGW/CC（人为全球变暖/气候变化）提出的那些方案上划算得多。

……地平论式的说教长文；理想情况下，你应该能够把各项具体主张标记为“已解决”，而这种状态只能被具体的新实验结果所推翻。我买《怀疑的环保主义者》这本书就是出于这个原因。我喜欢听那些不是 PR 公司走狗的人提出的反对意见。比约恩·隆伯格为他诚实的非主流观点付出并仍在付出巨大的代价，我们起码能做到的就是听听……

……他现在说的是气候变化是可以缓解的，重要到值得去缓解，而且代价并不会那么高昂。不过，别光信我的话，听听隆伯格自己怎么说吧：《怀疑的环保主义者》。在《怀疑的环保主义者》一书中，比约恩·隆伯格对“全球环境正在日益恶化”这一普遍信念提出了挑战。他利用来自国际公认机构的统计数据……
