Continuing a few talks from Alliance for Responsible Leadership (ARC) conference:
Danish author Bjorn Lomborg started his own think tank, Copenhagen Consensus, to research the best ways to get results on solving the world's problems. He addresses issues in economics, climate, energy to tell the world to "Stop the climate doomism!"
- There's no way to improve incomes and lifestyles around the world using less energy
- Growth everywhere requires cheap and abundant energy
- Climate is a problem, but isn't driving us to catastrophe
- Solar and wind is not a cheap solution bc we need energy 24/7
- Eliminating fossil fuels ("net zero") is not happening, would be absurdly expensive
- We will have to adapt to changing climate by innovating improved ways to produce power
