With the eyes of a liberal economist and the heart of somebody who has suffered in his own flesh Communist totalitarianism, Václav Klaus analyses in this book the soundness of the hypothesis and solutions offered by the latest trend among ecologists; global warming. The questions he asks are very simple: “Is global warming really taking place?”, “Is there any evidence of human influence in global warming?”, “Can man do anything about the climate?” and he offers an alternative solution based on a premise: “the best environment for human beings is an environment of freedom”.
