Environmentalist Response to Global Warming Is a Threat (1)

"Global Warming Is Not a Threat But the Environmentalist Response to It Is" de George Reisman no Mises.org:
In fact, if it comes, global warming, in the projected likely range, will bring major benefits to much of the world. Central Canada and large portions of Siberia will become similar in climate to New England today. So too, perhaps, will portions of Greenland. The disappearance of Arctic ice in summer time will shorten important shipping routes by thousands of miles. Growing seasons in the North Temperate Zone will be longer. Plant life in general will flourish because of the presence of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Strangely, these facts are rarely mentioned. ....
If the economic progress of the last two hundred years or more is to continue, if its existing benefits are to be maintained and enlarged, the people of the United States, and hopefully of the rest of the world as well, must turn their backs on environmentalism. They must recognize it for the profoundly destructive, misanthropic philosophy that it is. They must solve any possible problem of global warming on the foundation of industrial civilization, not on a foundation of its ruins.

  3. especialmente quando essa subida de temperatura é tão brusca quanto uns míseros 50 ou 100 anos.

  4. George Reisman a falar de mudança climática equivale ao Vaticano a falar sobre sexualidade.

    Era francamente escusado dar tanto nas vistas o tão pouco que percebem sobre ambas.
