I like Lomborg and I don't like Gore and that specifically also goes about what they want to do about 'man made' global warming. Lomborg is no fake and no hypocrite.

Gore: Lets reduce our CO2 (Methane, N2O?) output to an absolute minimum and prevent the Global Warming from happening.
Price tag: 500 trillions over 20 years - or something like that.

Lomborg: Lets move up low land cities, build protection walls and initiate other meaningful 'Geo Engineering' projects and lets get started right now.
Price tag: Up to 500 trillions over 20 years or something like that.

Q: Would eliminating our CO2 output halt Global Warming?
A: Just a wild guess, fact is that nobody knows.
Fact is that none of the Earth global warming events known to us today were preceded by an increase of atmosphere CO2 content...
Stuff to think about.

Q: Would moving low land high density population centers higher up and build walls to keep the rising water out work?
A: You bet.

Now just imagine we drain our economies the best we can and start investing in shutting down our CO2 output to nil - and then find out it doesn't work, what then??

Lomborg's option sure seems a safer bet to me.
