For the longest time in Denmark I didn’t want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant.

Bjorn Lomborg

The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change.

Long Running Technology
Global warming is real – it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world.

Across Europe, there are six times more cold-related deaths than heat-related deaths…by 2050…Warmer temperatures will save 1.4 million lives each year.

I’m an old member of Greenpeace. I worried intensely, as I think most of my friends did, that the world was coming apart.

Men Old Thinking World Worried
We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN.
BJORN LOMBORG

Numbers Past Worry
Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it’s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn’t over the last 150 years.

Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

The fact that we’re catching more fish per person than we’ve ever done before doesn’t mean that there are not particular places where we’ve managed fisheries badly.

Catching Done Fish Tanks Mean More
We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them.
BJORN LOMBORG

Energy Green Needs
I think it’s great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society, we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

Earth People Thinking Understand Views
There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn’t mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions.

Carbon Cutting Emissions Mean
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring.
BJORN LOMBORG

Challenge Choices Way
Wishful thinking is not sound public policy.
BJORN LOMBORG

Policy Sound Thinking
If every country committed to spending 0.05 per cent of GDP on researching non-carbon-emitting energy technologies, that would cost $25 billion a year, and it would do a lot more than massive carbon cuts to fight warming and save lives.
BJORN LOMBORG

Country Cutting Fighting
So it’s mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.
BJORN LOMBORG

Helping Overcoming World
We see many more, but the number is roughly constant, and we manage to deal much better with them over time. Globally, the death rate from catastrophes has dropped about fifty-fold over the past century.
