Bjorn Lomborg. Op ed. Be afraid of Nuclear War, not Climate Change

There are some smart climate solutions the world should definitely pursue. In an interview on Varney & Co, Lomborg points out that innovation in green energy technologies could eventually enable India, China, Africa and the rest of the world to make the switch away from fossil fuels.

It wasn’t that long ago when much of the global elite had conclusively decided that climate change was our world’s top priority. Then came a massive sideswiping by a global pandemic, of which we have only seen the first wave, along with an equally massive global recession. It serves as a timely reminder that an alarmism that cultivates one fear over others serves society poorly.

The recent UN climate summit in Glasgow was predictably branded our “last chance” to tackle the “climate catastrophe” and “save humanity.” Like many others, US climate envoy John Kerry warned us that we have only nine years left to avert most of “catastrophic” global warming.
