several examples of denial in the world. One of them has been the case environmentalist Bjoern Lomborg that already in 2007, fighting alone against the current. Lomborg Skeptical Environmentalist is a stranger who claims that global warming "is not an immediate threat to the world." According to the former director of the Danish Institute for environmental assessment and controversial author of several books, the reduction of greenhouse gases "is not a priority."
Going against the rest of their colleagues, Lomborg disagrees with the dire prophecies of future disasters. Ecologist denier has earned the ire of scientists colegasal and state: "There are other important challenges such as AIDS, malaria, malnutrition and poverty."
For him, trying to combat global warming by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, could avoid damage that would result in about 4,820 million dollars by end of century, but that would cost between 4,575 and 37.632 million.
In one of his books entitled "Cool It", referring to violently manifested Kyoto Protocol as too costly and ineffective "and asks rulers to "keep his cool" and avoid "a state of panic that prevents rational decisions."
"I do not dispute global warming. It is a reality, but they have greatly exaggerated. We must stop this obsession with climate change and caring about other pressing problems, expressed by the author.
"Reducing CO2 emissions not make the world a better place to live" because "even if targets are achieved (by the protocol), only about two years could slow global warming to century, "says the ecologist.
"Very little you can do to spend money on technology research and development of energy economic alternatives that serve to reduce dependence on fossil fuels pollutants. "complains Lomborg.

In Mexico, Juan Manuel Alcocer, a founding member of the Mexican Association of Molecular Biology in Medicine and director of the School of Biology UANL. argues that a few years now, the issue of global warming and climate change has become a topic of constant interest for many countries in the world, but there are some groups of intellectuals, politicians and leaders of major companies involved to argue that global warming is an invention by the powerful nations and stop economic growth in underdeveloped countries .
"One goal is to demystify what is around these issues and this is one of the priorities we have to take," said Alcocer ago a couple of years.
Is it possible that there are people in the world capable of denying the undeniable?
