Energy

Huszonnégy év telt el a kiotói egyezmény elfogadása óta, amely az első, széndioxid-kibocsátás csökkentését ígérő globális megállapodás volt. Az emisszió mértéke azonban tovább növekedett, mivel egyetlen egy politikai vezető sem akar nagy költségeket megfizettetni az állampolgáraival. Amire szükség van, az az, hogy sokkal nagyobb hangsúlyt kell helyezni a zöld energia kutatására. Ha a világ egy olyan zöld energiát talált volna már fel, amely olcsóbb a fosszilis energiahordozókhoz képest, akkor megoldottuk volna a globális felmelegedés kérdését.

De cara a la Cumbre del Clima de la ONU en Glasgow (COP26), los líderes mundiales vuelven a hablar de objetivos ambiciosos para la reducción del carbono. El presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, por ejemplo, ha fijado el objetivo de crear "un sector energético libre de contaminación por carbono para 2035 y una economía de emisiones netas cero a más tardar en 2050". https://www.milenio.com/opinion/bjorn-lomborg/columna-bjorn-lomborg/cop26-una-cumbre-ante-el-desafio-de-las-promesas-incumplidas

Campaigners have warned that net zero pledges made at COP26 are "doomed to fail" without regulation. But environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg tells Julia Hartley Brewer: "Young people are terrified but It's important to tell them there is less chance of them dying. This is not the end of the world." He also warns that world leaders at COP26 are trying to "force" net zero targets that will be "incredibly costly and politically impossible." 

Världsledarna som nu träffas på COP26 i Glasgow måste investera mycket mer resurser på forskning och utveckling.

Scommettere sull’innovazione è la sola via percorribile perché la conferenza di Glasgow non sia l’ennesimo inutile vertice sul clima pieno di impegni che nessuno manterrà

Bjorn Lomborg interview with Sandra Smith on America's Newsroom. Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, emphasizes the need for smart, not fear-driven solutions to address climate change.

Lomborg also discussed the cost of carbon neutrality on the Fox News Channel.

Meil on vaja palju tugevamat fookust rohelise energia uuringutele. Kui maailm suudaks uuendada rohelist energiat nii, et see muutuks fossiilkütustest odavamaks, lahendaks me globaalse soojenemise, kirjutab mõttekoja Copenhagen Consensus president ja Stanfordi Ülikooli Hooveri instituudi külalisteadlane Björn Lomborg.

Author Bjorn Lomborg returns to the show to talk about the current state of Sweden’s COVID tactics and the media’s response. The two also chat about world leaders failing to attack climate change issues. Additionally, they go over various energy options including nuclear, wind, and solar. Lastly, Adam asks if Bjorn has noticed a shift in the way society has accepted his thoughts on these issues.

Today, 120 world leaders and 30,000 delegates will start arriving in Glasgow for the Cop26 climate change conference. 

Watching from afar will be Bjorn Lomborg, the former Greenpeace activist who, in his acclaimed 2001 book The Skeptical Environmentalist, concluded that the costly measures being dreamed up by politicians, scientists and businessmen have proved next to useless. 

Here, he explains why little has changed.
