Über diesen Titel

 An “essential” (Times UK) and “meticulously researched” (Forbes) book by “the skeptical environmentalist” argues that panic over climate change is causing more harm than good
Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Arctic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world.

Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it’s not the apocalyptic threat that we’ve been told it is. Projections of Earth’s imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education. In a new epilogue, Lomborg brings the story up to date, showing the ineffective and costly environmental policies of the Biden administration.

False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong. It points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all. Politik & Regierungen Wissenschaft Ökonomie

Kritikerstimmen

"Lomborg does not lack solutions. In False Alarm, he advocates a range of cost-benefit tested policies to address both climate change and global poverty.... Lomborg does a service in calling out the environmental alarmism and hysteria that obscure environmental debates rather than illuminate them."—National Review
"Meticulously researched, and well worth a read."—Forbes
"An important book. Mr. Lomborg is a long-standing environmentalist regarded as a heretic by hardliners in the movement because he is an optimist who says that humanity is not doomed."—Iain Martin, The Times (UK)
"The best way to deal with global warming is to increase global prosperity.... The choice we face, Lomborg writes, is between a human future driven by fear and one driven by ingenuity. On that, he is exactly right."—The Bulwark
"Lomborg's most basic premise remains that there are better ways to alleviate human misery than spending taxpayer subsidies than on panic-driven, political non-solutions to a changing climate. Few would argue with that goal."—American Thinker
"Lomborg brands climate change warnings as alarmist, and argues that a massive reduction in fossil fuels would exacerbate global poverty, in this detailed account.... Lomborg is careful to back his cost-benefit analyses of climate policies with surveys and statistics."—Publishers Weekly
"[Lomborg] follows his previous critiques of climate change policy...with a hard-hitting analysis of failing strategies for addressing what he acknowledges is 'a real problem.'...A serious, debatable assessment of a controversial global issue."—Kirkus
"Bjorn Lomborg's new book offers a data-driven, human-centered antidote to the oft-apocalyptic discussion characterizing the effect of human activity on the global climate. Careful, compelling, and above all sensible and pragmatic."—Jordan Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life
"This is a very important and superbly argued book. Those who have been persuaded that climate change is not happening, and those who think catastrophe is imminent should both read it and know they can rely on Lomborg's meticulous analysis to put them right. The rest of us can be alarmed by his relentless revelation that the world is spending a fortune on making the plight of the poor and the state of the environment worse with foolish and expensive policies."—Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works

Lomborg does a great job at explaining why we should not throw everything including the kitchen sink at climate change. Without denying the huge problem that it is, he makes a very cool-minded and reasonable argument for why the ways we deal with climate change might be insufficient or plainly wrong. Very interesting perspective that is a welcome change to the ever same arguments of activists. Sophisticated book, 10/10.

Seit Jahrzehnten, suchen wir nach Wegen, den Klimawandel zu bremsen. Bislang ohne Erfolg und die Aussichten, das sich daran etwas ändert sehen schlecht aus. Also weiter wie bisher oder brauchen wir einen Strategiewechsel? Was, wenn unsere bisherige Strategie mehr schadet, als nützt? False Alarm bietet viele interessante Gedanken und Anregungen, jeweils mit Quellenangabe. Ich fand es sehr lesenswert.

Sehr lesenswert

As a physicist, I am truly delighted about the data oriented holistic approach to the matter of climate change. Lomborg has convinced me with his multivariant analysis of the matter. Having listened to the audiobook, the pdf with the charts and graphics was really useful. I feel that we, as a society, often are unable to do a proper cost-benefit calculation. The media and politics usually don't help, because they have no real expertise in the matters they deal with. It is content like Lombor's book that enables the informed reader (listener) to get a more balanced view. It is not very complicated or hard to understand, but coherent and underpinned with examples.
The only thing I was missing is the ecological aspect. Lomborg almost exclusively argues from an anthropocentric perspective. While humans might be able to adapt due to foresight and planning, other members of the animate nature might not be so fortunate. But I realise that this is a topic for another whole book. Still, a chapter on the effects on diverse animals and plants might have rounded up the overall good impression.
Thanks for the balanced input!

Very balanced and informed!

Der Autor hat Ahnung!
Dieses Buch bietet optimistische, nicht fundamentale oder extreme Lösungen für das Problem, das lange in den Medien als Ende der Menschheit dargestellt wird. Das relativiert dieses Problem, oder besser gesagt, es skaliert dieses Problem so, dass man wirklich verstehen kann wie "schlimm" oder nicht schlimm es eigentlich ist.
