Bjorn Lomborg: Climate Change, Poverty, and How Governments WASTE Your Money
From StosselTV
Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg says we waste money in the fight against climate change.
Governments spends trillions to fight climate change, but Lomborg says many of these policies are “not an efficient way of spending.” For saying this, Lomborg has been called “the devil.” The Danish government even targeted him for his views on climate change.
“I’m not trying to do something that’s immoral or anything,” he tells me. “I’m simply trying to make sure that we get it right.” Lomborg says there are better things society should spend money on. He says we should spend on the “best things first,” things like maternal and newborn health and improving education, rather than squandering billions on pointless gestures toward stopping climate changes.

Media portray environmental groups as the underdog. In reality, they’re the big guys, and today they’re rolling in money.
What’s worse is how they use it.
First, they peddle scares. They say polar bears are disappearing. They aren’t. They claim bees are dying off. Also not true. They spread these lies to get MORE money.
“Hysteria generates donations,” explains science writer Jon Entine. “The oxygen for these organizations is money donated by people who think they’re doing good.” It’s why Big E now receives billions in donations.
It’s bad enough that they lie to us to get paid. But they also use their money to block progress. One group boasts, “In the past year our legal team has stopped thousands of miles of fossil fuel pipelines and dozens of large power plants.”
They even oppose solar and wind farms. “It’s a shame,” argues Cato Institute’s Travis Fischer, “When I think about what America could be … we could be so much more prosperous than we are.”
Our video covers more ways Big E blocks progress.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

More climate change myths need debunking. There’s so much the alarmists get wrong!
Linnea Lueken of the Heartland Institute helps us reveal the data that disproves claims of: worsening drought, worsening wildfires, catastrophic sea level rise and a dying Great Barrier Reef.
You might be surprised by what’s true and what’s not.
Here is a list of the sources used in the video:
Global area in severe meteorological drought has not increased over the last 100 years: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science…
Drought in the U.S. is not worse today: https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicator…
U.S. Wildfires Have Declined: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science…
100 million people live below sea level: https://archive.is/t3B2y#selection-91…
U.S. Sea Level Rise is currently rising at a pace 1.2 inches per decade since 1993: https://sealevel.colorado.edu/
Great Barrier Reef coral coverage hit a record high in 2024: https://www.aims.gov.au/monitoring-gr…
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
