‘The Greens are hurting the poor in Third World’ It is important to note that although the costs of global warming are high the costs of reducing emissions may be higher – at least one environmentalist believes that they are. He suggests the first world should invest the money it would have spent on lower greenhouse gas emissions directly on improving the lot of the third world. And another example – according to this article about Dr Bjørn Lomborg of Aarhus University, “Well meaning and compassionate environmentalists are convinced that pesticides cause cancer. Yet the link is tenuous and these chemicals may well have decreased the incidence of cancer by boosting production of fruit and vegetables, the consumption of which cut cancer risk.”
