315. The World is Not Ending | Bjørn Lomborg
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
The Impracticality of Solutions to the World's Problems
Thinking that climate change is the only problem is likely to lead to poor decisionmaking, as we focus only on this issue./nSolutions to climate change are often inefficient and will have little impact on the problem.
Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh
Dr Jordan B Peterson and Dr. Bjørn Lomborg discuss the present sense of impending doom that has swept the western world- and specifically today's young people. Together they break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit.
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.
