Im no expert on American politics (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
In the rich world, the environmental situation has improved dramatically. In the United States, the most important environmental indicator, particulate air pollution, has been cut by more than half since 1955, rivers and coastal waters have dramatically improved, and forests are increasing (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
There is no doubt that we should take solar radiation into account. We have seen ground temperatures rising since 1975, and it is important to know to what extent that has been caused by the sun or by carbon dioxide (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Think on a 50-year scale, which is a much more natural time-scale for global warming. The US is right now spending about 200 million dollars annually on research into renewable energy (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
We have to be aware that the scientific community throws up tons of different hypotheses and at a certain point we’ll find out who was right and who was wrong. But we have to go with the best information right now, which I would claim to be the IPCC reports (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
I found university a little dispiriting. I thought I would enter the great halls of Plato, but instead I entered the halls of an intellectual sausage factory. I wanted to do something not on the main course, and chose the environment (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Global warming is real - it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring. If our starting point is to prove that Armageddon is on its way, we will not consider all of the evidence, and will not identify the smartest policy choices (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
For the longest time in Denmark I didn’t want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
I’m an old member of Greenpeace. I worried intensely, as I think most of my friends did, that the world was coming apart (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
But this is an occupational hazard of being a scientist. You say this is the best information I have and then you realize that not everyone is going to read the footnotes or the whole book, so people are going to get the wrong impression (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Even if every major government were to slap huge taxes on carbon fuels - which is not going to happen - it wouldn’t do much to halt climate change any time soon. What it would do is cost us hundreds of billions - if not trillions - of dollars, because alternative energy technologies are not yet ready to take up the slack (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He’s basically taken it from a nerdy, almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely, a problem. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
To some, a cap-and-trade system might sound like a neat approach where the market sorts everything out. But in fact, in some ways it is worse than a tax. With a tax, the costs are obvious. With a cap-and-trade system, the costs are hidden and shifted around. For that reason, many politicians tend to like it. But that is dangerous. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn’t mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
The fact that we’re catching more fish per person than we’ve ever done before doesn’t mean that there are not particular places where we’ve managed fisheries badly. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can’t use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
When thinking about the future, it is fashionable to be pessimistic. Yet the evidence unequivocally belies such pessimism. Over the past centuries, humanity’s lot has improved dramatically - in the developed world, where it is rather obvious, but also in the developing world, where life expectancy has more than doubled in the past 100 years. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it’ s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn’t over the last 150 years. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
The saddest fact of climate change - and the chief reason we should be concerned about finding a proper response - is that the countries it will hit hardest are already among the poorest and most long-suffering. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it’s likely that we’ll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough. (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)

Wishful thinking is not sound public policy (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn’t mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
I tentatively believe in a God. I was brought up in a fairly religious home. I think the world is compatible with reincarnation, karma, all that stuff (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
Even if I was a bad right wing guy, to the extent of whether my arguments are right or wrong, they’re right or wrong independently if I’m right or left (Bjorn Lomborg Quotes)
