Lomborg: Ditch Controls, Promote Investment

The formidable Bjorn Lomborg, scourge of the global warming totalitarians, writes today for the Gray Lady. He insists that (a) controls on carbon emissions are doomed to failure and at best grossly inefficient; (b) investment in non-carbon energy production offers over the long term to reduce carbon emissions and be economically efficient.

We're willing to listen to such analysis, not least when he acknowledges that the world's poor shouldn't wait for alternatives to carbon to be developed.
