Ep. #672: Bjorn Lomborg, Stephanie Ruhle, Bret Stephens

Bjorn Lomborg's "False Alarm" challenges the prevailing narrative surrounding climate change. He argues that the catastrophic predictions often presented are exaggerated and that focusing on adaptation and technological innovation is a more effective approach. The book presents data-driven arguments to support his claims, advocating for a more nuanced and less alarmist perspective on the issue. Lomborg proposes a cost-benefit analysis of various climate change mitigation strategies, suggesting that prioritizing other global challenges might yield better results. He emphasizes the importance of economic growth and technological advancement in addressing climate change effectively.
