I've always enjoyed Lomborg's insight into our current global Climate Change/Environmental discussion politicians, academics, and students are having the world all over. However, I still believe that his viewpoint is misguided. As any sane person today knows, combating climate change and environmental degradation requires substantial challenges resulting in substantial sacrifices. Yes, I share the belief that the poor have the right to enjoy the same benefits the rich have for so long, but not at the expense of prolonging an adequate and thorough solution to environmental degradation.

An individual with the stature that Mr. Lomborg has should aim their efforts to finding a quick solution, and not prolonging the issue.

I also want to mention that both sides (developed and developing) must cut back, and not just one. This, I believe, should be the focus of Mr. Lomborg, and not combating current efforts.

If the international community does not do something soon, then it is very possible that many more of the poor might continue facing a growing energy inequality. The sooner something is done, the sooner we can all benefit from our planet's sustainable resources.
