Climate-Change Colonialism Keeps Poor Countries Impoverished

Capital, Bulgaria Aug 17, 2012. Бьорн Ломборг: Без паника за климата Датският политолог и скептичен еколог пред "Капитал" Bjorn Lomborg: Don't panic about the climate Danish political scientist and skeptical environmentalist to "Capital" Най-сериозните последици от климатичните промени вероятно няма да бъдат почувствани още години. Но все пак, ако сега вие трябва да планирате мерки за тяхното преодоляване, откъде бихте започнали? Има някои прости решения на предизвикателствата на климатичните промени. Да вземем например нивото на океаните.

In January 2010, Lomborg was interviewed by Joel Malan, an Australian now living in Copenhagen. JM: The Skeptical Environmentalist drew on your background in statistics to reach a more holistic interpretation of existing research. I understand you are not a climatologist as such, but what contribution can statistics make to the climate change debate?

Global warming is a significant, long-term problem. Unfortunately, we’re tackling it with very costly, and very ineffective, feel-good solutions.

Lomborg writes in The Australian that we should instead focus on cost-effective CO2 reductions like shale gas in the short term and green R&D in the long run.
