Few Americans know that non-profit organizations, staffed by professionals, primarily Americans, and financed by a mix of private and public funds, exercise real power in the conduct of diplomacy and the creation of international policy.

Conventional wisdom says that global warming is a serious problem, but conventional wisdom is wrong.
If global warming were to occur, it would not be the disaster that many doomsayers have predicted. Instead, most people would actually benefit from the slightly higher temperatures it would produce. And even if the benefits of global warming failed to materialize, the costs of curbing greenhouse gas emmissions would far exceed even the most pessimistic estimates of losses from climate change. Adopting policies that would slow economic growth in order to prevent global warming would be foolish and harmful. This book is so chock full of good news that it's virtually guaranteed to cheer up even the clinically depressed.
