Interview med Bjørn Lomborg - om indflydelse

Published by Venstres Ungdom

I Danmark har vi mange mennesker, som vi anser for at være indflydelsesrige. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Mærsk McKinney Møller og Per Stig Møller kan blandt andet nævnes. Trods dette så har der i flere år i træk blot været én enkelt dansker på listerne over verdenens mest indflydelsesrige personer. Han er kendt for hans altid saglige og kritiske kommentarer, når der er debatter omkring global opvarmning. Os liberale har under slogans, som ”mest for vores penge”, nærmest taget ham til os, som et barn. Det er dog på af at han ikke vil bekende sin fløj, men i stedet er af den...

Obama's Global Warming Straddle (...) The skeptics may not be winning the debate in the media, but they're "winning the reality" according to Bjørn Lomborg, author of the bestseller The Skeptical Environmentalist. Lomborg points out that despite "tremendous amounts of worrying .  .  . if you look at actual reductions in CO2 over the last few years, nothing." Lomborg isn't opposed to government action, but he derides cap-and-trade regimes as a way for politicians to "put on a tax and get people to think it's a cool thing...

Lomborg's op-ed in Forbes: Help the Poor with Free Trade

Published by Forbes

Help the Poor With Free Trade by Bjorn Lomborg, 02.25.2009 Forbes Magazine, dated March 16, 2009. On My MindIf you want to save the globe, start by increasing global trade. Hundreds of London's bankers joining the dole queue, America's corporate leaders pleading for a government handout: These are the vivid images of the financial crisis captured by the media.

Globalne ostrzeżenia

Published by Racjonalista

Protokół Kopenhaski nie odniesie sukcesu, jeśli nie podpiszą go Indie i Chiny, ale przekupywanie tych krajów, by dołączyły się, będzie miało efekty przeciwne do zamierzonych. W grudniu światowi przywódcy spotkają się w Kopenhadze, żeby wynegocjować nowy pakt w sprawie zmiany klimatu, aby zredukować emisję dwutlenku węgla. Sposób jednak, w jaki to zostało ustalone, spowoduje, że porażka będzie nieunikniona. Najlepsze, czego możemy się spodziewać, to że otrzymamy nauczkę, by wreszcie zabrać się za tę kwestię w mądrzejszy sposób. (...)

Global warnings - Lomborg's latest op-ed in The Guardian

Published by The Guardian

The Copenhagen protocol will not succeed unless China and India sign up, but bribing these nations to take part is counterproductive Björn Lomborg, guardian.co.uk, Sunday 15 February 2009 This December, global leaders will meet in Copenhagen to negotiate a new climate change pact to reduce carbon emissions. Yet, the way that it has been set up, it will inevitably fail. The best hope is that we use this lesson finally to deal with this issue in a smarter fashion. The United States has made it clear that developing countries must sign up to substantial reductions in carbon emissions in...

A CHALLENGE TO BARACK OBAMA’S CLIMATE POLICY

Argument Map of the article "Obama and Global Warming" Bjorn Lomborg on climate facts and policy priorities A diagrammatic representation in bCisive 2.0 Austhink Consulting created this logical model of the opinion piece by Professor Bjorn Lomborg. Such models make it possible to see what an argument is. They are called argument maps. Using such a map, those who disagree with Professor Lomborg can pinpoint precisely where and why. Those persuaded of the merits of his case will, equally, be able to account for precisely why. Lomborg Argument Map.pdf
