Great letter. I found this statement particulartly striking:

“On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it. “

This echoes a point I have made before. To attempt to rectify perceived “man-made global warming” mankind would spend precious resources on the wrong thing. Instead mankind should be developing and girding its loins for inevitable future climate change - either hotter or colder. Mankind should also be thinking about low lying areas and what to do about these cities.

OR if mankind is worried about us breathing in pollution (as I am from a health perspective) then we should focus on cutting real pollution elements instread of CO2. They are focusing on the wrong element which is not even a pollutant.

Sound like the natural result of unintended consequences every time we allow these pc globalists to influence policy.

The banning of DDT comes to mind.
