The End of the EU's Cap-and-Trade Affair

Published by Wall Street Journal

2013-04-21 For some time, a divorce has been on the horizon. For years these sweethearts have soaked up the limelight on the international stage, but the sordid reality has sunk in. On Tuesday, a vote in the European Parliament confirmed that the love affair between the European Union and its climate policy may be well and truly over. This could turn out to be very good news for the world's climate.

Earth Day's good news

Published by USA Today

2013-04-22 USA Today Year after year, we are treated to a message of environmental doom and gloom and admonitions on Earth Day. On the back of this sentiment in wealthy countries, governments have invested billions of dollars in inefficient, feel-good policies such as subsidizing solar panels and electric cars. But there are far better ways to improve environmental prospects for humanity and our planet. On Earth Day, we need more fracking, more wealth, smarter investments and fewer inefficient subsidies.

Warum der Schutz des globalen Klimas sinnlos ist

Published by NZZ am Sonntag

2013-04-21 Die Erde erwärmt sich. Doch seit 20 Jahren scheitern alle Versuche, den Ausstoss von Treibhausgasen zu bremsen. Die Klimaschutzpolitik ist ein Fiasko, weil sie gegen jede ökonomische Vernunft ist. Stattdessen sollten wir unsere finanziellen Mittel in die Erforschung billigerer grüner Technologien stecken.  Von Bjørn Lomborg

'Un día el automóvil eléctrico será un gran producto, pero no ahora'

Published by El Tiempo

2013-04-17 Durante décadas, la idea de un automóvil eléctrico ha conquistado la imaginación de innovadores -incluidos desde hace más de un siglo Henry Ford y Thomas Edison.  Celebridades, expertos y líderes políticos han proyectado estos vehículos como la apoteosis de un futuro responsable con el medioambiente. La canciller alemana, Ángela Merkel, anunció que habría un millón de automóviles eléctricos en la Autobahn para 2020. Del mismo modo, el presidente Barack Obama aseguró que habría un millón de autos eléctricos en los Estados Unidos -pero cinco años antes.

Inundaciones: no al uso político del clima

Published by Clarin

2013-04-08 Por Bjørn Lomborg

Las inundaciones ocurridas la semana pasada en Buenos Aires y La Plata son una tragedia. Muchos dicen que es por el calentamiento global y exigen que se reduzcan las emisiones de CO2. Están equivocados. Usan al clima como el chivo expiatorio. Y desconocen políticas mucho mejores. Este mal consejo causará más muertes y más destrucción en el futuro. (...)

Are electric cars improving?

Published by BBC

BBC Radio 4, Today programme   Few things polarise opinion more than the electric car. It is either a great way to save the planet or a really bad way to get from A to B? The Today programme's Evan Davis wanted to find out more, and took a ride in one with an enthusiast and a sceptic. Bjorn Lomborg, the so-called Sceptical Environmentalist, having written a book of that name, has made a career attacking what he thinks are the irrationalities of the green movement. He is not a fan of electric cars.

The joy of global warming

Published by The Sunday Times

2013-03-31 Bjorn Lomborg's article in The Sunday Times

As I fly into a snow-bound Britain, I realise that you might be asking where global warming has gone as you shiver in the coldest March for 50 years and wonder what you will do if gas has to be rationed. I have been involved in the climate debate for more than a decade, but I am still amazed at how wrong we get it. Let us try to restart our thinking on global warming. Yes, global warming is real and mostly man-made, but our policies have failed predictably and spectacularly. (...)
