The ‘sceptical environmentalist’ used cost-benefit analysis to argue against emissions cuts. Now he has turned his attention to overseas aid
 

رُصد نحو ثلث مخصّصات الصندوق العالمي بين عامي 2023 و2025 لمكافحة الملاريا، وبلغت نحو 4,17 مليارات دولار، فدعمت هذه الأموال توزيع الناموسيات المعالجة بالمبيدات الحشرية والاختبارات التشخيصية السريعة على نطاق واسع، ما خفّض معدّلات انتقال العدوى بشكل كبير.
 

Climate hyperbole abounds. We are being misled about the looming "climate apocalypse," and we’re also misled that a coming green transition will make energy cheaper, societies safer and everyone richer.

We need better information on how to tackle climate change smartly, while ensuring that we have resources to respond to all the other challenges and to invest in growth and development.

Bjorn Lomborg gave a 16-minute keynote presentation to more than 4000 attendents from more than 90 countries at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) Forum in London. Other speakers besides Lomborg included US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, investor Peter Thiel, Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, and former Australian prime ministers Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison.

In an effort to minimise the effects of climate change, countries in the developed world are chasing net-zero at all costs, causing high energy prices and reduced energy consumption. The problem? In this video, Bjorn Lomborg explains how, across the world, it is countries with the highest energy consumption that create the most wealth, and it is those with the most wealth that are most able to care for the environment. By enacting policies that reduce energy availability and increase cost, the 'net-zero' agenda is preventing the very thing it aims to achieve.

Copenhagen Consensus Centre President Bjorn Lomborg says countries are spending an “enormous amount of money” on the climate issue and doing “almost nothing”.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has signalled Australia will not follow the US in leaving the Paris climate agreement if they win the election.

“We should fix climate smartly, but right now we are just fixing it stupidly,” Mr Lomborg told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“It is increasingly becoming obvious to voters and to politicians that this is not the right way to go about it.”

Danish political scientist and author, Bjorn Lomborg, has examined Labour's net zero drive through analysing the cost to regular Brits through renewable and non-renewable energy.

Stav veřejných financí po celém světě se nebezpečně zhoršuje. HDP na obyvatele klesá, zatímco náklady na důchody, vzdělání, zdravotní péči a obranu rostou. Jde přitom o naléhavé priority, které by klidně mohly spolknout dalších 3–6 procent HDP. A přesto zelení aktivisté bezostyšně vyzývají vlády, aby alokovaly až 25 procent našeho HDP do podpory pro změnu klimatu, čímž by náš růst přiškrtily úplně.
