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.

Bjorn Lomborg

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

Helping Overcoming World
If our starting point is to prove that Armageddon is on its way, we will not consider all of the evidence, and will not identify the smartest policy choices.

Choices Consider Identity Policy
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.

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

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.

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

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.

Get Better Messages Trying
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.

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
Winter regularly takes many more lives than any heat wave: 25,000 to 50,000 each year die in Britain from excess cold.

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them.

Obviously any group that has to have funding also needs to get attention to their issues.

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

Of course, the world is full of problems. But on the other hand it’s important to get the sense… are we generally moving in the right direction or the wrong direction?
BJORN LOMBORG

Course Hands Important Moving
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.
