How much would you spend to delay global warming 37 hours? Germany is spending $110 billion...

Whether you believe in anthropogenic global warming or not, this is nuts.

“Global warming is real,” said Lomborg, “and it is we need to fix. But we should fix it smartly, and not in a very, very costly way as we’re doing it now. Germany is probably spending $660 for every ton of CO2 they’re cutting.”
