How to tackle global warming - and how not to

In an effort to minimise the effects of climate change, countries in the developed world are chasing net-zero at all costs, causing high energy prices and reduced energy consumption. The problem? In this video, Bjorn Lomborg explains how, across the world, it is countries with the highest energy consumption that create the most wealth, and it is those with the most wealth that are most able to care for the environment. By enacting policies that reduce energy availability and increase cost, the 'net-zero' agenda is preventing the very thing it aims to achieve.

The energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine disabused many politicians of the notion that the world could make a swift transition to green energy powered by solar, wind and wishful thinking. As food prices skyrocket and the conflict threatens a global food crisis, we need to face another unpopular reality: Organic farming is ineffective, land hungry and very expensive, and it would leave billions hungry if it were embraced world-wide.
