Bjorn Lomborg Declares “False Alarm” on Climate Hysteria

[@BaconNBeer]

I am today 71 years old. When I was a teenagers everyone was telling me that in 30 years the coastal cities would be under water, we would be under 10 feet of garbage and we could be out of oil. Today 50 plus years later I can't tell if the oceans are one inch higher, there is no garbage laying around except in Democrat run cities and under Trump we were awash in oil. I would suggest to stop worrying about things.

[@sdluedtke3368]

Back in 1990 in Undergrad school I got in huge trouble for having a report in Geography Class showing historical climate change cycling due to the change in total solar energy (sunlight ray's intensities) from the repeating changing cycles of the Earth Orbiting patterns around the Sun. My physical historical data from ice cores, lake bed and ocean bed cores and tree cores information showed that NO matter how you measured it that it proved that the Earth's climate has been and is in an unending orbital cycles. It was totally rejected --- he insisted that only modern man has caused all the atmospheric heating. Because I had gotten all 100% coo all my weekly quizes and both large tests I was given a different subject (teacher approved) to write another research paper on satellites and typography research) in order to not fail the class. By then I had learned the important hard lesson that the truth did not really matter --- that only the Liberal Brainwashed mindset mattered. And yes I'm still angry about this BS PC on any subject. And yes now 30+ yrs later Earth is on the edge of another climate change Mini Ice Age directly due to the cyclical change in Earth's orbit.

I've watched the whole Gretta speech from when she first comes on to the set or stage or wherever they interviewed her , and she was calm and polite and compliant. As soon as they say "go ahead " she literally changes her expression ON CUE and begins this performance while reading her speech. I think it's so strange. It felt like a performance. Not saying it was because I actually think she believes what she says, but the way she switched on and off her emotions seemed rehearsed.

I’m still waiting for the ice age they were predicting back in the 1970s

[@cheddar2648]

We may yet see it due to solar weather, or precession of the Earth, or the periodicity of Ice Ages observed in ice core samples. Whereas a 2C rise in average Earth temp would increase crop yields and arable lands, can you imagine what 100 feet of ice would do to Earth's farm fields and the creatures inhabiting it?

[@myjizzureye]

The earth travels in an elliptical orbit around the sun, it also has an axial wobble that causes different parts of the earth to be exposed to different levels of sun. Both of these cause regular ice ages and thaws over time like clock work. These cycles are know as Milankovitch Cycles after the man who discovered them. They are the reason an ice age was predicted in the 1970's because we should be moving into one. The current positive anomaly is against this cycle with only one explanation currently that has not been ruled out that is extra CO2 trapping heat.

[@ducthman4737]

Bjorn Lomborg has just one big problem, he thinks climate has a problem. From the last 200 million years the last 3.5 have been the coldest. Earth right now is in an Ice Age. We are just lucky to live in an interglacial when temperatures are a little bit higher. Life on Earth is starving for more CO2 not less. And even during the Holocene temperatures have been much higher when trees could grow much higher up the mountain and much closer to the poles.

Peter, with all due respect and you're due plenty: Minor Point - Sweden is not a Socialist country. Market economy, was very wealthy and had extended social policies. They gave up Socialism in the 90's. Major Point -Bjorn is still in the 'CO2 is the main driver camp'. False premise. You need to interview more people on this. It's an overly simplistic cause to an imagined problem that if it were true - would need the examination of multi-varied components in a fantastically complex system - which is the climate. Not saying all his ideas are bad - just CO2 not the problem. Suggest: Richard Lindzen MIT 30 yrs Atmospheric Physicist, retired - Will Happer Princeton retired, award winning Physicist - Willie Soon Astrophysicist Harvard Smithsonian. - Nir Shaviv Racah Institute of Physics, Hebrew Univ. Jerusalem. Lastly: Uncommon Knowledge is my favorite hangout. And You, Peter Robinson and Thomas Sowell doing interviews, are my all time favorite duo!

Due respects to all the "climate change experts". From my lay perspectives all these "experts" remind me of the story of the 5 blind men each holding onto a different part of a massive elephant n each coming to a conclusion that the elephant looks like a pillar, a brush, a rubber hose, a wall etc. Everything is always in a flux n ever changing in life. Nothing remains static n unchanging. Climate is no different. What caused the great ice age n what caused its eventual recession? Humanity surely did not contribute to that. Nature has a way of balancing itself n life forms also evolve n naturally adapt to its changing environment accordingly. Man can live quite happily in the desert heat of the Sahara or Arabia n just as well in the cold of Iceland. I think v could b barking up the wrong tree by focusing on "greenhouse emissions" n especially on CO2 as the main culprit for the planet's "warming" n throwing billions of dollars to keep it "neutral". Other than making a few people like Al Gore n his climate alarmist friends filthily rich, I'm quite sure it'd do absolutely nothing to the climate at all n that it'll continue to b what it'll be. It'd b infinitely more beneficial n more immediately felt if v focused on cleaning up plastics, pollutants n other contaminants from the oceans n waterways of the world. Likewise with more effective waste management n recycling. And Bill Gates could help by ceasing all his so called "philantropic" pretense of "saving" the world by supporting companies like Monsanto (Bayer) in creating genetically modified seeds n other poisons which govts around the world r waking up to n r beginning to smartly ban. A more commonsense approach to managing our lovely planet rather than b conned by vested interests supported by dodgy scientists with their dodgy "research reports" is the way to go. Follow the money.

I have crossed swords with Mr. Lomborg in the past as I advocated that climate change represented a massive problem, but now I need to make an apology as I have reviewed the evidence and found that the temperature preceded CO2 rises in the past by some 800 years. In addition, on the IPCC's own admission trends should have been seen in the model after 10 years. It has now been over 25 years and the predictions have not been seen. In particular temperature rises in the atmosphere, oceans and hot spots on the equator have not occurred. Now that the data is in, the Null Hypothesis has not been proven and the model needs to be changed or the theory thrown out. For more information see the 50 to 1 Project videos.

Now we have developing nations that do not follow any climate reducing CO2 and the climate prognosticators that are building and buying expensive homes on the oceans and low lying areas on the coasts. How are we suppose to believe these so called climate change activists if they act 180 degrees in the opposite direction than what they are preaching .

Bjorn's information is accurate and I highly support it's being presented and acted upon. The savings that could be attained thru common sense handling of the financial repercussions here are cosmic. Now, if we use half of these savings to protect and defend the environment (ocean acidification and effects on wildlife including others) with the same common sense, then we can invest much of the remainder in SpaceX , gold, silver, education and defending ourselves against communism, while still being able to take our children to Disney World , buying a cabin up north and various good endeavors yet to be determined. Let's be sure to keep our eyes on the big picture here while we are peeling our onion so that the main course comes out tasty AND healthy. Sorry, it seems Bjorn is doing a fair job of it already. Thanks Bjorn.

[@olinireves4324]

Nice words. But this with the acidification of the sea is nonsense. Because of the high salt content the sea is a very stable buffer solution. (Chemical term). pH changes will not happen. Completely not possible, because you talk about ppm (parts per million) in the atmosphere. The partial pressure will never be sufficiently high for that... Do not forget that Phytoplancton does feed on CO2 in water. It is the source of the food chain in the ocean... The point about acidification is something different: Mussels, Snails and corals do bing Calzium with CO2 to Calziumcarbonate. (Chalk and Chalkstone). The reason for "acidification" and smaller housings of snails etc. is less calcium in the environment than some million years ago. These organisms consumed all of it in the environemnt. They also reduced the CO2 content in the atmosphere, compared to the age of the dinosaurs...

On the topic of emissions control, it appears that Western nations are spending vast sums of money chasing diminishing returns, while emissions are worsening elsewhere due to growing populations and inferior technology.

Bjorn what you have not addressed is the negitive side of a lot of these green inovations. example battary electric cars, the goal is to reduce co2 but infact start to finish in the life of even one car produces 1/3 more co2 than a comparable icv, and along the way we have done incredably more enviromental damage with massive open pit mines in sensitive eco locations. at the rate we are going this planet will look like a giant golf ball of holes. ive seen enough scientific info to know that co2 can be 3 times higher than it is now without harming us.also ocean levels are only rising by 1.5 milimeters a year with 1 meter predicted to take up to 700 years. you only need to look back in history to know the future. second example the anceint city of Corinth with it stone docks 10 mile from the ocean. these climate changes are natural and normal, how arogant of us humans to think we can control it. this whole green movement is nothing more than a huge scam to make the rich even richer on the backs of the rest of us. nucular is a viable idea, wind and solar are doing more harm than good and are pie in the sky ideas. fossil fuels will be around longer than you think because they are what works reliablie. i just hope us poor folks can weather the storm of BS being put apon us.

I am very amused by David Wallace-Wells' comment about the trajectory of Carbon DiOxide reaching 1000 ppm. You and I are breathing out 40,000 - 50,000 ppm expired CO2.

(Please email me for the references of these scientific papers). I am convinced that we would not notice any physiological or psychometric disturbances under such "alarmist" levels of 1000 ppm CO2.

"Suspicious Observers" has a great YT channel that's been debunking traditional narrative of global warming via carbon BS since 2011. Ben is very interesting for anyone who wants climate change explained in a much more reliable way. Hint: it's the Sun😉

[@sorsocksfake]

We'd be easily able to measure if the sun's output - or the portion of it that reaches Earth - changed. Especially with satellites we can just measure that outright. Any smart person can realize we should check the sun. Any smarter person will realize the experts have already done that :) (apparently the solar output has been stable, and even in a mild decline).

Suspicious Observer is dumber than Bjorn Lomborg .

We are in far more danger from mounting waste and pollution than from climate variances. Focus on clean air,clean water, and effective waste.management will provide better quality of life results than this obsession with climate.

Skepticism and a questioning attitude: "how dare you!?"

Such a great interviewer. Great show. Thank you for making me a little smarter than I was before this interview.

She read that script like she was auditioning for a part in a play.

[@puppylove4506]

Bjorn thank you for being responsible. But what evidence do you have that climate change is man made? May I suggest the weatherman cannot predict my local correctly how can a complex issue such as the climate be predicted by our behavior..

We will adapt, we always have.

This here and JRE are the best shows of our times. And it is bout time mr. Peterson will have mr. Rogan for a talk.

Greta is a bad actress. She isn't scared and those weren't her words. Reading her script.
