A Hysteria-Free Conversation On Climate Change | Bjorn Lomborg
Oct 8, 2025
Bjorn Lomborg, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and visiting fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, offers a refreshing take on climate change, arguing against exaggerated fears. He discusses how the human impact on warming is real but manageable, outlining projected modest economic losses by 2100 if no action is taken. Lomborg emphasizes that current climate spending is often misallocated and critiques the push for net zero, suggesting it could hinder growth in developing countries. His insights bridge the gap between urgency and practicality in addressing global priorities.
