Finished Lomborg's book on the trip. Basic premises: global warming is a problem and man is a cause, but the consequences have been greatly exaggerated and the costs of Kyoto and similar approaches to the problem are way out of proportion to the value of the benefits anticipated. Better to address world problems where the cost-benefit ratio is better. As for climate change? Recommends a substantial increase on R&D spending in making alternative energy sources more cost effective. You can watch him here discussing his approach to solving the world's problems (17 minute video -- sorry about the TED ad).

That guy is interesting, I heard him on the radio before. Makes sense to me!
I always enjoying watching the lectures on TED's site. This guy makes good points and I will have to read the book.
