President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center Bjorn Lomborg shares his recent New York Post Op-Ed discussing the climate scare tactics that ultimately turn out to be false and the impacts climate hysteria has on the world - like having Olympic athletes eat vegan meals to lower their impact on the climate. 

Kids' educational test scores are a major cause for concern across the world. Learning plummeted nearly everywhere during the COVID-19 pandemic—but even before that, standardized test result measures in mathematics, science and reading were heading in the wrong direction.

Looking back on more than 20 years of climate agitation, two themes emerge: a stubborn unwillingness by campaigners to acknowledge any inconvenient science, and ever-shifting favorite stories, first elevated and then dropped by the wayside.

Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center (‪@CopenhagenConsensus‬ ) a think tank focused on cost effective solutions to the world's biggest problems.
Bjorn is the author of several bestselling books including "The Skeptical Environmentalist", "False Alarm" and recently “Best Things First.”

The Spectator's Michael Simmons speaks to Bjorn Lomborg about the climate alarmism spilling into poor policy-making, and why governments should focus on innovation and green jobs. 

The international body’s warnings are more about demagoguery than data.

Green goals have always been attained through human ingenuity. This time will be no different.

Despite much hype, the much-vaunted green energy transition away from fossil fuels isn’t happening.

Achieving a meaningful shift with current policies turns out to be unaffordable. We need to drastically change policy direction. 

Activists’ tales of doom never pan out, but they leave us poorly informed and feed bad policy.
 

Human ingenuity is the best climate policy.

Bjorn Lomborg seeks to bring a balanced and thoughtful view to the climate conversation, where alarmist narratives have created policies that do more harm than good.

As Bjorn says, “yes there are problems ahead, but we make more solutions than problems.” The results of one-sided storytelling are unrealistic ‘net-zero’ climate policies which drive up energy prices and carry costs that vastly outweigh their benefits.

We are simply, in Bjorn’s words, “making the lifeblood of civilisation more expensive.”
