How to fix climate change. But Smartly. | Bjorn Lomborg, Climate Policy Researcher

Let's get this message into our schools, especially our high schools. Young people are being fed a steady diet of catastrophe, which is demoralising them. This gives them hope to move forward in their lives, knowing they have a future and one that can be abundant.

Totalitarianism is expensive.

The trouble is greedy people have seen 'climate change' as a way to come up with very lucrative 'solutions'.

You go Bjorn! You tell them! I wish the ARC all the success as this world needs something that is more credible than organisations like the WEF.

The biggest problem I see with individuals like Dr. Lomborg speaking with such logic and sense, is that the people who listen, the true humanitarians, have little power. Those who have benefitted from the tightening of our belts, time and time again, through their taxes, lobbying, laundering and polices simply value financial returns over human lives, period.

ARC 2023 is a beacon of hope

"i dont want you to hope, i want you to panic" Greta Thunberg. This says a lot about the plans of 'the environmentalists"

Canadians should watch this to have a better understanding of how stupid and damaging Trudeau's policies are.

Just incredible. This is exactly the kind of news that we millenials need to hear so that we can get to work creating the future. Without these stories, we risk huddling and panicing and doing nothing.

Greed is behind all the mess we witness currently

Almost the first statement "climate change is not the end of the world". Brilliant, that is what the majority of us think, pass it on

End the narratives which destroy hope and create nightmares in our children.

One of my neices is in college working on a major in environmental studies. As a former biologist and ecosystems modeler, I have been trying to widen her vision to include at least some exposure to the other side of the climate debate. Dr. Lomborg has been my primary source. Whether or not she listens is another

Cl8mate change is not a problem, it's a norm that's been harnessed to leverage feeble minded people for money and control.

It’s just astonishing how little money spent in the correct way can have such a disproportionally positive outcome….you have to wonder why institutions want to spend all this money on EV’s and infrastructure….follow the money

Every person from a developing country knows this to be factually true. When prices and fuel supply in Syria were strained, people turned to cutting trees, burning wood and dung just for winter heating, let alone cooking or having a warm shower. Respiratory problems spiked. All the cutting caused massive deforestation, and the excessive burning caused whole mountain forests to burn. Due to expensive fuel, transportation almost shut down. The poor couldn't afford a 100km trip to see a good doctor or attend a highschool or even find work. Of course this wasn't due to any climate policy, but the point is that those are the same results that inevitably follow a dramatic increase in energy prices. And every climate policy, especially net-zero, cause that to happen.

Bjorn and The Copenhagen Consensus are ridiculously genius.

great start to ARC..... Thankyou Jordan Peterson and all the others involved in bringing this alliance to the world. This (ARC) is what we desperately need. Genuine facts and leadership. Now it is up to us, the public, to do our part. Spread the word, help grow the "Alliance for Responsible Citizenship", and do YOUR part to help bring about a better more positive world for all of humanity. Put an end to the distopian vision offered by the elites of Davos and the WEF gang. Bring individual Freedom and responsibility back to the forefront of a free and prosperous society. Thankyou.

This guy is amazing!!!!

I'm an economist who's delved pretty deep into the type of cost-benefit analysis on climate change and climate policies that he was talking about. What they usually don't emphasize is the enormous uncertainty that all such estimates involve. Anyone who shows you numbers, particularly on the expected climate damages, whether it is Lomborg trying to assure you that it'll all be fine or the alarmists going on about how we're all going to die, the truth is, they don't really know. There's so much uncertainty in the models, plus the issue of the discount rate you use to translate future damages into present costs, you end up with a ton of CO2 emission causing anywhere between 1$-1000$ damage. So we basically have to decide whether or not to spend huge amounts of money on emission reduction without reall knowing whether or not it's "worth it". And, depending on disposition, the uncertainty causes some to say "hey, we're not even sure it's going to be that bad so why spend all the money" and others will say "it could be much worse than we think so every expenditure is justified to avoid possible catastrophe". (But in reality, I don't think Bjorn & co need to worry too much because if you look at acual energy investments and policies, it doesn't look like anybody is taking their own net zero promises very seriously. Except maybe the EU - we might very well shoot ourselves in the foot economically while China & co make sure we will get to find out who's right about the future unmitigated climate damage estimates...)
