Securing property ownership to grow better lives for billions

We endlessly hear the flawed assertion that because climate change is real, we should “follow the science” and end fossil fuel use.

The Hoover Institution held a Fellow Talk with Bjorn Lomborg on Monday, April 1, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. PT. Lomborg discusses Climate and Development Spending: How the World Bank and others are spending evermore resources on doing ever less good.

Climate change is not the extinction-level event it is often characterized as. Still, it is a problem we need to address, focusing on smart, effective solutions. In his latest long-form interview on climate change and climate policy on Uncommon Knowledge (filmed at Stanford University), Lomborg discusses practical ways to lower our carbon footprint and emissions, pointing out why “carbon free by 2050” probably isn’t achievable without massive energy breakthroughs coming from green energy R&D.
