In this book, Bjorn Lomborg argues that many expensive actions considered to address global warming will have little impact on the world’s temperature. He suggests focusing on more cost-effective approaches, such as increasing green energy R&D, and discusses why dissenters in the climate change debate are often demonized. The book also addresses other pressing global issues like malaria and HIV/AIDS.
This book, featuring insights from Bjørn Lomborg and numerous economists, evaluates the costs and benefits of addressing twelve global problems with a hypothetical budget of $75 billion. It emphasizes prioritizing solutions based on their potential impact, highlighting interventions such as micronutrient supplementation and malaria treatment as highly effective investments. The book aims to guide decision-makers in allocating resources efficiently to improve global welfare.
In this book, Bjørn Lomborg challenges the conventional wisdom on environmental issues by arguing that many of the claims made by environmentalists are exaggerated or misleading. Using extensive statistical data from recognized research institutes, Lomborg examines various environmental topics such as deforestation, pollution, water scarcity, and global warming. He contends that economic growth and technological advancements can address many of these issues more effectively than the policies advocated by environmental groups. The book has been both praised for its detailed analysis and criticized for its methodology and interpretation of data[1][2][3].
The book delves into the complex interplay of cultural mores and historical circumstances that explain why some nations achieve economic success while others remain in poverty. Landes argues that industrialization, supported by cultural and institutional frameworks, is the pivotal force behind wealth creation. He highlights the significance of cultural attitudes toward work, innovation, and risk-taking as drivers of sustained growth, particularly in European nations. The narrative spans centuries, incorporating anecdotes, case studies, and comparative analysis to provide a global viewpoint on economic development. However, the book has been criticized for its Eurocentric perspective and neglect of developments in non-Western regions[1][3][4].
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.
This book provides a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, examining the potential social, environmental, and economic benefits of each target. Led by Bjørn Lomborg, renowned economists identify the most effective development targets, arguing that focusing on these could achieve as much as quadrupling the global aid budget. The analysis covers areas such as health, education, and sanitation, highlighting the importance of prioritizing investments for maximum impact.
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of global development targets, identifying the most effective ones for achieving significant economic, health, social, and environmental benefits. It highlights 19 key targets that offer substantial value-for-money, providing more than $15 in benefits for every dollar invested. The work is based on peer-reviewed analyses from top economists and sector experts.

Leftist politicians and the “intellectual elite” prioritize a vague plan for saving earth over the lives of struggling people all over the world. Governments are being forced to press their citizens, straining already fragile economic and agricultural systems, in order to appease a globalist utopian vision. Bjørn Lomborg and Ralph Schoellhammer sit down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss the faults in this plan, and the people who are suffering because of it.
Bjørn Lomborg is a Danish author, having written numerous books on climate change such as “False Alarm,” “The Skeptical Environmentalist,” and “How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place.” He is the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center that focuses on doing the most good, for the most people, with increasingly limited budgets. Previously, Lomborg was the director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute.
Ralph Schoellhammer is a scholar and journalist operating in Europe who has diligently covered overlooked stories such as the Dutch Farmers Protest. He is also an assistant Professor of international relations at Webster Vienna Private University, and produces a podcast following political psychology and institutionalism called the Global Wire.
