Earlier this year Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Michael Cochrane published an important piece showing that, even assuming high probability that climate alarmists are right about the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming, mitigation is a poor response. Lately Kent Hawkins published a new piece at MasterResource.org that picks up on Cochrane’s piece, substitutes more realistic assumptions about the magnitude of warming and other matters that don’t bend over backward, as Cochrane did, to give the alarmists the benefit of the doubt. Hawkins’s piece shows that the odds are extremely low that trying to reduce or prevent global warming is the right policy decision. We’re glad Cochrane’s article prompted such further thinking and hope you’ll read it.
