Global warming 2

...Root said she studied how animals are being hurt by global warming. "That is such a depressing job," replied the nurse who daily deals with cancer patients...
Then they both laughed.

Czech president Vaclav Klaus was one of the officials opening this week UN gathering concerning the climate change. Let me quickly and briefly translate some of his statements:
1. despite the pressure coming from mass media the so called "global warming" impact on the Globe is relatively very small.
2. the predicted menace coming from the hypothesis of the global warming is mainly based on speculative and non scientific models. The time series observed by humans are not long enough to use them for any crucial decisions.
3. there is no scientific consensus concerning the observed data and their meaning.
4. the result of the argues between the climatologists is that we have two conclusions what to do next. Me, as an economist and an author of a book talking about economy and possible climate changes, I am on the side considering steps against some possibly non-existing warming as too expensive for everybody.
5. I am definitely not one of the politicians willing to control the emissions whatever it costs. As we are not sure, whether there is some long-run change and the less we know anything about human influence, I find it better to spend money on improving our living standards directly, I believe investments in technological improvement is much more worthwhile.
6. We shouldn't introduce any global controls, bans or limits. They are usually very harmful especially for the developing countries.

Thank you, president, for making me proud of my country and my president after a long time. It is important that there is somebody with different opinions than mainstream.
