Lomborg is quoted in Fox about Earth Hour

Una de las historias de éxito en materia de desarrollo que más se pasa por alto en estos momentos es que la población sin acceso a la electricidad ha caído por debajo de los mil millones por primera vez desde que se iniciaron los registros. Nuevos datos de la Agencia Internacional de la Energía (AIE) muestran que en 2017, 120 millones de personas tuvieron acceso a la electricidad, un número nunca antes alcanzado. https://www.milenio.com/opinion/bjorn-lomborg/columna-bjorn-lomborg/el-acceso-a-la-energia-en-america-latina

Across the world, politicians are going out of their way to promise fantastically expensive climate policies. President Biden has promised to spend $500 billion each year on climate — about 13 percent of the entire federal revenue. The European Union will spend 25 percent of its budget on climate.

Most rich countries now promise to go carbon-neutral by mid-century. Shockingly, only one country has made a serious, independent estimate of the cost: New Zealand found it would optimistically cost 16 percent of its GDP by then, equivalent to the entire current New Zealand budget.

Bjorn Lomborg joins Jordan Peterson on his podcast to explore the idea of how we do good in the world most effectively.
In order to get to a point where we can discuss investing in better education and nutrition, we also need to confront the sense of impending doom that has swept the western world and specifically today's young people. Together, Peterson and Lomborg break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit.
