Takes on the largely one-sided proposed solutions to climate change with many excellent analogies and a fair amount of facts. Makes excellent points that have yet to be refuted by those who believe elimination of fossil fuels is the ONLY way to solve this problem. Clear, concise, and recommended.

Lomborg tends to rile people up, and people who try to tear down his arguments mostly get things wrong. This book outlines a good approach to measuring and balancing costs vs benefits, and argues yet again that there are multiple solutions - we will end up using more than one. The facts he relies on (Nordhaus) have been questioned in the past, and this book doesn't answer those questions unfortunately. For that matter, the questions Lomborg has for the zero carbon emissions folks are not new either, and also haven't been answered.

The first book of his that I read (Cool It!) took Al Gore and others to task for knowingly exaggerating the problem - trying to scare people into a solution. This book continues to fight that trend, and thus the title. Everyone needs to stop telling people they'll be dead and the planet will be uninhabitable if we really want them to change. Seems obvious to me, but please read this book if that is somewhat less obvious for you. We aren't living the 1950s all over again - both science and economics are much improved.
