  Singer (1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
Singer charges that "greenies" have eliminated nuclear energy as an option, and have throttled fossil fuel use by attempting to impose a carbon tax, which "condemns most of the world's population to a life of poverty and misery", by hindering economic development (p.112).
Singer concludes that the "only moral way" to resolve the conflict between economic development and the global environment is for democratic, free-enterprise nations to attract investments by multinational corporations to supply capital and technology and create jobs and prosperity (p.117-118).
Singer counters that the IPCC studies on the topic are not the final word, and that it is "quite premature to take any drastic actions based on the results of theoretical climate models that have not even been validated by the climate record" (p.120).
