Lomborg on Australian radio show 2GB

Steven Crowder sits down with Bjørn Lomborg, who is the President of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center & former Director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute in Copenhagen. The duo discusses if climate change is really the number one issue in America, if climate change is actually killing people, fracking, renewable energy, SDG, Trump, Biden and so much more.

COPENHAGEN – Since the Copenhagen climate summit’s failure, many politicians and pundits have pointed the finger at China’s leaders for blocking a binding, global carbon-mitigation treaty. But the Chinese government’s resistance was both understandable and inevitable. Rather than mustering indignation, decision-makers would do well to use this as a wake-up call: it is time to consider a smarter climate policy. China is unwilling to do anything that might curtail the economic growth that has enabled millions of Chinese to clamber out of poverty.

As you might expect, the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, which reached an agreement yesterday to limit the rise in global temperature to less than 2C, has been an international festival of hot air.

The bland, suburban conference centre hosting the two weeks of talks is populated by oversized animal cut-outs – a blue giraffe, a red camel – that we attendees use as landmarks to find our way around.
