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.

We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.
In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”
In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.
Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.
Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.
These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” He didn’t.
Trump made government bigger. He hired new employees, doubled federal spending, and started a bunch of new programs. Now the swamp is bigger.
In our new video, Economist Ed Stringham explains the real way to drain the swamp is to cut the spending that swamp creatures feed on.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
