Will CO2 cuts hurt world much more than they help?

Global warming denialist Bjorn Lonborg, while not admitting he’s a denialist, bashes the idea of cutting CO2 emissions, claiming it will be more harm than help to the world.

He cites the specter of economic protectionism, and claims the costs of radical CO2 cuts will be nearly $50 trillion, because “climate protectionism” will cost that much. Of course, he has no proof for such numbers.
