A review was published in Nature, very scathing, essentially calling me incompetent, though they didn’t use that word. I am putting a reply on my Web site in a few days, where I go through their arguments, paragraph by paragraph. Bjorn Lomborg Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote

The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change. Bjorn Lomborg Read Quote

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 Read Quote
If we invest in researching and developing energy technology, we’ll do some real good in the long run, rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century, and for many other global problems we have low-cost, durable solutions. Bjorn Lomborg Read Quote
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 Read Quote
