Bjørn Lomborg has always used libraries as a very important tool in his research. The idea of collecting all knowledge in the world in one place makes it possible for a scientist to work effectively.
Bjørn Lomborg har altid brugt bibliotekerne som et meget vigtigt redskab i sin research. Idéen om al viden, samlet på et sted, gør det muligt for en videnskabsmand at arbejde effektivt.
23-01-2009 - Lomborg at Reason Foundation - Nov 2008
At Reason's 40th anniversary event, held in Hollywood on November 14 and 15, "Skeptical Environmentalist" Bjorn Lomborg kicked things off with an engrossing 30-minute presentation about man-made climate change and the best ways to prioritize and solve global problems ranging from water shortages to poverty to malaria.
The author most recently of Cool It, Lomborg is also the force behind The Copenhagen Consensus, a path-breaking approach toward effecting efficient solutions to the planet's most pressing issues. "At the end of the day," says Lomborg, "this is about saying, Yes, global warming is real. It's often massively exaggerated, which is why we need smarter solutions.... Let's pick them smart, rather than stupidly. And also, let's remember that they are many other problems in the world that we can fix so much cheaper and do so much more good....If this is really a question about doing good in the world, then let's do real good—and not just make ourselves feel good about what we do."
