Reality check: Drive for rapid ‘net zero’ emissions a guaranteed loser

Bjorn Lomborg gave a presentation on climate change at a conference in Colorado. He explained that climate change won’t be as costly or devastating as we often hear in the media, and how detrimental the cost of current green policies is in comparison. To sustainably tackle climate change, we need a new approach.

The United Nations climate conference in Paris starting Nov. 30 will get under way when most minds in the French capital will still understandably be on the recent terror attacks. But for many of the 40,000 attendees, the goal is to ensure that climate change stays on the global economic agenda for the next 15 years.

Bjorn Lomborg writes in The Wall Street Journal that when people are cold, hungry and broke, they rebel. If the elites continue pushing incredibly expensive policies that are disconnected from the urgent challenges facing most people, we need to brace for chaos.
