As Bjørn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus Center notes, “The European Union will pay $250 billion for its current climate policies each and every year for 87 years. For almost $20 trillion, temperatures by the end of the century will have been reduced by a negligible 0.05ºC.”
如此决策是对资金的巨大浪费。哥本哈根共识中心（Copenhagen Consensus Center）的比约恩·隆伯格（Bjørn Lomborg）指出：“欧盟将会在87年的时间里每年为其当前气候政策付出2 500亿美元。在花了20万亿美元后，到本世纪末气温将下降可以忽略不计的0.05℃。”相反，欧盟在七年的时间里只花了区区80亿欧元用于解决年轻人失业问题，目前一些成员国的年轻人失业率高达近60%。
