Climate related disasters killing less people

The world is waking up to the fact the climate-policy goal of achieving “net-zero” CO2 emissions brings crippling economic pain.

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.

Copenhagen Consensus Centre President Bjorn Lomborg says there are constantly climate catastrophes and it’s very easy to claim them as global warming.

“Global warming is real and it’s very likely that it does have an impact, but what you need to recognise is that because we are richer and more resilient we’ve dramatically drove down the number of people that die from climate-related disasters,” Mr Lomborg told Sky News Australia.
