The Resolution of the Cornucopian-Ecologist Issue
Cornucopians and ecologists have debated the hypotheses of global warming as a result of the emission of greenhouse gases for several decades, focusing upon different interpretations of risk: resilience against precaution. One can now employ recently available data on GDP, energy consumption, emissions and global average temperature to decide between these two positions. The cornucopian position is wrong, the evidence strongly indicates.
