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.

Bjorn Lomborg

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.

Country Cutting Fighting
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
My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term.

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

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.

On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world.

Average Global Warming 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.

Across Countries Death Relative
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can’t use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.

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

Helping Overcoming World
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.
BJORN LOMBORG

Carbon Cutting Emissions Mean
We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN.

Numbers Past Worry
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.
BJORN LOMBORG

Catching Done Fish Tanks Mean More
I really try to say things as they basically are and it so happens that it is a good message that things are getting better, but there are still problems.
BJORN LOMBORG

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