Democrats finally passed climate legislation, does it matter?

2013-05-29 By Bjørn Lomborg, in Huffington Post. The UN is pondering which goals to set for the next decades to advance human development and sustainability. A high-level panel including Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and UK Prime Minister David Cameron will be making their recommendations this Friday. They could get a treasure trove of ideas from some of the world's top economists. In a new book, these economists summarize humanity's smartest ideas and best investments.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Bjorn Lomborg, author of "False Alarm," and David Wallace-Wells, author of "The Uninhabitable Earth," for a wide-ranging conversation and debate about climate change - realism and alarmism. Topics include the worst and best case climate change scenarios, whether climate change is the most important challenge facing humanity or not, America's impact vs. China and India's impact, debating our tangible climate future, celebrity hypocrisy, whether extreme weather events can be connected to climate change, what average Americans can do vs.

The Spectator's Michael Simmons speaks to Bjorn Lomborg about the climate alarmism spilling into poor policy-making, and why governments should focus on innovation and green jobs.
