There are some smart climate solutions the world should definitely pursue. In an interview on Varney & Co, Lomborg points out that innovation in green energy technologies could eventually enable India, China, Africa and the rest of the world to make the switch away from fossil fuels.

This year, the US federal government will spend more than $61 billion in humanitarian aid for the rest of the world.
Philanthropists and charitable donors will contribute another $30 billion.
Combined, this total is more than any other country, and it helps transform lives in poor countries.
But Americans — and everyone else — can do better. Not by spending more, but by spending more smartly. 

World leaders gathering in New York for the un’s Sustainable Development Goals (sdg) Summit next week will be faced with the entirely predictable failure of their own grand promises.

As surely as temperatures rise during the summer, climate alarmism serves up more stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires and biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming.

Bjorn Lomborg said Friday that politicians were blaming climate change for disasters like the wildfires on Maui to duck “responsibility” for “failures” in addressing them.

Take a look at his new interview with Michael Shermer.

The meaningful exchange of truly diverse ideas and perspectives has withered over recent decades.

Unorthodox thinking is increasingly trashed or disregarded, even as the chattering class’s fear- and force-predicated approaches repeatedly prove inadequate to cope with the true complexities and crises of the modern world.

It turns out the percentage of the globe that burns each year has been declining since 2001.

This conversation draws attention to the importance for a rational, data-inspired response to global issues. As a successful entrepreneur, I say often, data is the most information rich data stream. Every decision you make and in every approach to solving novel problems, data must be at the center of the decision, otherwise you’re speculating and relying on emotion.

A spell of extremely hot weather has hit Europe this month, bringing with it a raft of apocalyptic headlines. Named Charon, after the boatman in Greek mythology who navigated the river Styx into Hades, the heatwave has immediately been linked to climate change and, by extension, humanity’s faltering attempts to combat it.
