"Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Arctic. Politicians, activists, and the media claim climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action to stop it. Enough, argues bestselling author Born Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it's not the apocalyptic threat that we've been sold. Projections of Earth's imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies. Updated with a new epilogue, False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong. It shows the was toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all." - Cover.
