El resultado de la Cumbre del Clima de la ONU en Glasgow (COP26) ha sido criticado por los comentaristas como poco ambicioso y algunos lo califican de “fracaso monumental”. Incluso el anfitrión de la cumbre, el primer ministro británico, Boris Johnson, admitió que el acuerdo estaba “teñido de decepción”. No es de extrañar: históricamente, la mayoría de las promesas sobre el clima han salido mal. 

The outcome of the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow (COP26) has been criticised by commentators as unambitious, with some like the delegates from Pacific island countries calling it a 'monumental failure'. Even the summit's host Boris Johnson admitted the deal was 'tinged with disappointment'. This is hardly surprising. Historically, most climate promises have fared badly.
 

Ledere bør fokusere på innovation, der kan gøre grøn energi billigere. Mens politikerne ofte hævder, at grøn energi allerede er billigere, modsiges de af virkeligheden – hvis den var billigere, ville det ikke være nødvendigt at købslå i årevis med hundredvis af lande for at få dem til modstræbende at love at blive grønnere, skriver Bjørn Lomborg.

Trying to showcase climate leadership at the U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow, President Joe Biden is reaffirming his goal of creating “a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050.” But that target will be prohibitively expensive. A new Nature study shows that a 95 percent reduction by 2050 — almost within reach of Biden’s net-zero — would cost 11.9 percent of GDP or more than $11,000 for each American every year.

As COP 26 wrapped up, Bjorn Lomborg joined Alex Epstein to discuss the many examples of bad thinking that have shaped the conference, including:

- The false portrayal of today’s world as bad and getting worse.

- The failure to consider the costs of reducing CO2 emissions. - The failure to discuss the benefits human beings get from fossil fuels.

- The failure to consider any positive of CO2 emissions.

- The failure to appreciate the power of adapting to climate changes.

Bjorn Lomborg talks about COP26, climate change policy mistakes and emphasizes the need for smart, not fear-driven solutions to address climate change in the Roy Green Show.

Visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution Bjorn Lomborg joins ‘Kudlow’ to discuss Biden’s radical green agenda amid coal shortage.

Op de VN-klimaattop in Glasgow beloven de meeste leiders van rijke landen gretig om hun economieen tegen het midden van de eeuw of zelfs eerder koolstofarm te maken.
