please, your answer is foolish and insult...@Reiner<br /><br />please, your answer is foolish and insulting. hate... I hate Bayern München ;), but not radical free market ideas. I am saying the source is not trustworthy for me because the organizations and Goklany are well known to be biased because of ideological reasons. <br /><br />Furthermore, it does matter to me if climate change is risk #1, 2, or 7. For me, it is a straw man debate. I think, it is a serious issue. <br /><br />To the paper... did you read it? I do not believe GDP per capita, well-being, and CO2 emissions are necessarily directly coupled. Goklany cites indirectly (via Reference 42) the IPCC SRES report of 2000. This report does not show this. Rather the study says, for the same size of population or GDP per capita there can be very different emission scenarios. In contrast, Goklany tries to convince the reader, GDP per capita and greenhouse gas emissions are directly coupled, necessarily! This is the basis of his discussion. Rich world = less risks. Rich world = high emissions. High emissions = less risks. <br /><br />I do not buy it, sorry. ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-53210913205481357582012-10-18T15:21:50.742+02:002012-10-18T15:21:50.742+02:00Ghost -

I think, it is (will be) a serious problem. <br /><br />B U T...<br /><br />I do not consider an opinion of a lobbyist connected to think tanks like Heartland Institute, CATO, and CEI as important. Furthermore, I do not know how a electrical engineer has any expertise in climate change risks analysis. <br /><br />At last, I do not like people who tell bullshit about Malaria and DDT. It is really dangerous to do so.<br /><br />Goklany is just another advocate of radical free market ideas. His opinion is: complete deregulation of the market will lead us into the paradise. I do not think, this is very helpful. <br />ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-20167774267843568922012-10-13T15:17:57.304+02:002012-10-13T15:17:57.304+02:00I did a quick copy & paste f the abstract whic...I did a quick copy & paste f the abstract which had the DOI but not the name - have now inserted the author's name. As far as I can see the full text is not yet available.<br /><br />Title and abstract are intriguing as many respondents in surveys say they are very concerned about climate change, but at the same time think that there are more important issues. For example, the recent post by Hans von Storch, <a href="http://klimazwiebel.blogspot.de/2012/09/umfrage-bei-jungen-studenten.html" rel="nofollow">Umfrage bei jungen Studenten</a> illustrates this.@ReinerGrundmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759452975366986236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-70063948953474744612012-10-12T23:27:28.299+02:002012-10-12T23:27:28.299+02:00Reiner Grundmann
