　　A

　　An important scientific report announced“irrefutable(不能反驳的)proof”that climate change is happening and it’s all our fault.How long has it been before people are against the global warming idea?But here’s a funny thing.Last year there was a very bad hurricane season in the Caribbean when,among other disasters,New Orleans was all but wiped off the map.We were wisely informed by the experts at the time that this was owing to global warming.

　　I remember watching a BBC science programme and hearing a learned professor with a beard tell us,“The increased frequency and strength of hurricanes is what we shall have to learn to expect given global warming.”

　　This year there have been far fewer hurricanes and those there have been were relatively mild.Why?Good old global warming again of course. Professor Bjorn Lomborg,author of TheSkepticalEnvironmentalist,writes,“In the constant media reports of possible greenhouse-related disasters,almost any event is now linked to climate change.”He adds,“We should not spend vast amounts of money to cut a tiny slice of the global temperature increase when this leads to a poor use of resources and when we could probably use these funds far more effectively in the developing world”.For saying this,Lomborg has had death threats.
