This page deals with the book by Bjørn Lomborg:



"Cool it! - The Skeptical Environmentalist´s Guide to Global Warming".



The book has appeared in two versions, an American (A) and a British (B).







The American version was published by Alfred A. Knopf about 1st. Sept. 2007. It has 253 pp.







The British version was published by Cyan Communications about 26th Sept. 2007. It has 353 pp.





The two versions differ in several respects. The American version is written relatively much as a popular book, with no graphs. The British book appears more `technical´, with many graphs and with the same note system as in "The Skeptical Environmentalist". In some chapters, the text differs widely from the American version.



Lomborg-errors´ criticism is more precise in the pages referring to the British version.

CHECKING ENDNOTES



Lomborg´s books have extensive endnotes and references, which leads many readers to believe that the text must be correct. The conception is that when all statements are based on precise references, then the statements must be true. But what happens if you actually check the endnotes?
