Harris Stops Talking About Climate Change

This is the heart of our latest ARC Conversation. Our host Gerard Holland sat down with Dr Bjorn Lomborg to talk about the narratives that are holding us back from living lives of abundance, the true cost of our climate policies, and the best ways of building a better world. 

The electric car industry is elated with an incoming Biden administration because it promises to extend and increase electric car subsidies to fix climate change.

Similarly, leaders across the rich world promise lavish carrots along with sticks to outlaw petrol cars. This week, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Unfortunately, electric cars will achieve only tiny emissions savings at a very high price.

For three decades, climate campaigners have fought to make fossil fuels so expensive that people would be forced to abandon them. Their dream is becoming reality: Energy prices are spiraling out of control and will soon get even worse. Yet we are no closer to solving climate change.
