The Electric Car’s Short Circuit

Published by Project Syndicate

2013-04-11 Someday, the electric car will, indeed, be a great product – just not now. It costs too much; it is inconvenient; and its environmental benefits are negligible (and, in some cases, non-existent).

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. (...)

Oślepieni światłem

Published by Racjonalista

2013-03-22 Wieczorem 23 marca 1,3 miliarda ludzi będzie bez światła o 20:30, o 21:30 i o 22:30, jak też przez resztę nocy — jak w każdy inny wieczór o każdej porze roku. Bez dostępu do elektryczności ciemność po zachodzie słońca jest dla tych ludzi codzienną rzeczywistością.

Zielone samochody ukrywają mały, brudny sekret

Published by Racjonalista

2013-03-27 Samochody elektryczne są promowane jako najmodniejszy zwiastun środowiskowo dobroczynnej przyszłości. Reklamy zapewniają nas o „zerowej emisji" i prezydent Obama obiecał milion tych samochodów na drogach do roku 2015. Przy sprzedaży w 2012 r. dochodzącą do 50 tysięcy ta liczba miliona samochodów jest mrzonką. Konsumenci nie ufają im z powodu ograniczonego zasięgu, wyższych cen i logistyce ładowania baterii. Ci jednak, którzy mają samochody elektryczne, przynajmniej mogą pocieszać się, że jest on naprawdę zielony, prawda? Nie zupełnie. (...)

First, Make Green Energy Cheap

Published by Wall Street Journal

2013-03-26 We've been tackling global warming badly for 20 years. And for a very simple reason: because we essentially try to tell people, "Could you please stop with all that fossil-fuel stuff?" The problem, of course, is fossil fuels are what power pretty much everything we like about civilization. We're not burning fossil fuels to annoy Al Gore. We're burning them because it makes us rich. Trying to tell people not to do that is a hard sell. (...)

Zaslepeni světlem, prozřeni tmou

Published by Hospodářské noviny

2013-03-25 Večer 23. března byla 1,3 miliardy lidí v půl deváté a v půl desáté, ale i v půl jedenácté a po zbytek noci bez světla - tak jako každou noc během celého roku. Bez přístupu k elektřině je pro ně tma po setmění neměnnou realitou. Téhož večera se jiná miliarda lidí zúčastní ekologické akce "Hodina Země" a od půl deváté do půl desáté zhasnou světla. (...)

Cegos pela luz

2013-03-23 A Hora do Planeta diz-nos que lidar com o aquecimento global é fácil. No entanto, ao apagarmos as luzes, a única coisa que estamos a fazer é ficar com mais dificuldades em ver.
