Lomborg is most pessimistic, best to do nothing, it costs the least

Without finite fossil energy, everything gets worse and poorer. Don't even try. So continue with the fossil, everyone gets richer everything gets better. Hallelujah! Acknowledge climate change but not to bet big money on it. A bit difficult to understand his position, but one of the most influential. Bjørn Lomborg and John Christy pursue theses that are closest copies of each other They both present renewable energy as almost a fraud and that it mainly affects the poor of the earth. For them, finite fossil energy is something that will always be cheaper and better than with renewables. It is embarrassing to read what this Bjørn Lomborg claims.

Is a statistician, no natural scientist has a limited ability to understand the seriousness of what is happening with climate change, the major changes that will occur with the planet's higher temperature and not least the major changes in cyclone paths and rising sea levels. Large emigration movements. Doesn't seem to understand the huge costs of doing nothing. And to react unprepared when the fossils expire.

Bjørn Lomborg comes to the following summary: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet! His main thesis is that renewable solutions just make everything expensive (trillions of dollars) and have no upside. He travels around the world and promotes this thesis and can then collect large fees at his Hallelujah meetings. What he claims is exactly what some people want to hear. Lomborg lives today in the denier country Sweden, with his partner Roland.

Bjørn Lomborg calls himself a statistician For Bjørn Lomborg, there are only huge costs in getting away from the finite fossil, while he believes that continuing to use fossil energy does not result in rising costs. That at the rate the use of fossil energy increases, there will be a shortage of fossil fuels in country after country, and with simple knowledge of "supply and demand" fossil fuel will become more and more expensive, but it does not exist in his world. You can only see what happened in 2022 in the world when Russian energy could no longer be used in several countries when Russia attacked Ukraine. Increasingly higher costs because more and more people cannot get their properties insured. That doesn't exist in Lomborg's world. Bjørn Lomborg also seems to have taken over the fallen mantle from the late Swede Hans Rosling. Like Rosling, he pushes the thesis that most things just get better and better and that environmental problems are exaggerated. He runs the thesis of ignoring the climate and publishes many videos about this. It seems to be very profitable. Lomborg's claims Lomborg is now spouting wild EXACT claims. All in the name of Copenhagen Consensus Center, to make it sound good. Since Lomborg has the right claims, he can bring in large sums, but most of it seems to be a "one man show". The discussion about wind and solar is wrong. It has never been the case that solar and wind have to stand alone. It is about reducing the consumption of mainly natural gas. In countries with hydropower, it is mainly this that solar and wind are combined with. But natural gas or biogas can also be combined with wind and solar. Biogas is very flexible and can be combined with solar power. What is a problem in some technologically undeveloped countries is that today they often cannot handle a combination between fossil power and solar and wind. But that does not rule out renewables forever. One can hope that over time they acquire better technical skills.

But that does not rule out renewables forever. One can hope that over time they acquire better technical skills. Faked math calculations to trash renewables Lomberg's entire mathematical calculations are out of the blue when he claims that all the EU's measures result in a temperature reduction of 0.004 C°. How did he arrive at that? Understands e.g. not that energy needs to be used much more efficiently. It is certainly necessary to take a big step towards change, which can be costly at first, when you have wasted decades. Natural gas has been the basis for Europe's home heating. If the homes are instead heated with heat pumps, energy consumption is reduced considerably. The need for fossil energy will decrease. Homes also need to be better insulated. Such measures to improve European housing stock are necessary. (This is now happening in the EU.) Money must be invested in effective measures. Improving housing is also good because it raises property values. Big costs must not go to continue paying for the fossil power that Bjørn Lomborg wants. The fossil that Lomborg loves must be got rid of immediately. Mr. Lomborg wants to continue the disastrous dependence on fossil fuels. Bjørn Lomborg always tries to use the failures of early solar and wind ventures such as the early solar power venture that became expensive in Spain. But now it has started again, as the prices of panels today are significantly cheaper. He also never compares with what it costs to continue with dependence on primarily Russian energy.

Bjørn Lomborg is therefore actively working towards renewable energy Bjørn Lomborg believes that all green investments fall without subsidies. The big investment in solar panels could certainly take place today without subsidies. But of course you are grateful if you receive a grant. Investment in electric cars will continue, but will be less now than without subsidies. Investments in offshore wind will decrease without subsidies, but not cease. Certainly, electricity prices will never return to the Nordic low prices in the period 2010-2020, which means that subsidies are no longer needed. But wanting to push forward a certain development such as investing in improving heating and insulation of housing stock is about stimulating even things that cost money, but which raise property values ​​and which will definitely be positive for the whole society. But with Bjørn Lomborg, negative aspirations will be reinforced. A society falling to pieces with the likes of Bjørn Lomborg as the standard bearer.
