Climate related disasters killing less people

Copenhagen Consensus Center President Bjørn Lomborg says global warming will have “mostly negative impacts”, but people need to have a “sense of proportion”.

“When temperatures rise, you’re going to see more heat, and hence more heatwaves and hence more heat deaths,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“But what you don’t hear is that when temperatures rise, you also see less cold, less cold waves, and hence fewer cold deaths.”

Leaders are implementing superficially attractive but terribly inefficient policies - not least on climate change

Lomborg participated in the Weather Report panel, Apr 29 in New York. You can watch the entire event online. Lomborg's part of the talk starts at 33 minutes in.
