"The climate conversation has gone off the rails: First, people say that global warming is the end of the world Second, they also claim the green transition will make energy cheaper, societies safer, and everyone richer Both claims are wrong” My first of 10:

I am writing in the largest Dutch newspaper today how the money needed for Europe's defense could be raised. We wouldn't even need new debt. A simple rethink of the EU's costly and ineffective climate policy could free up hundreds of billions of euros. x.com/BjornLomborg/s…

Nearly half of young Canadians believe we're doomed because of climate change. No wonder. They've grown up bombarded both by footage of natural disasters, and by activists’ claims that climate change is making the planet unliveable. But that’s just wrong. financialpost.com/opinion/bjorn-…

Electricity prices in the UK tripled mostly because of climate policies But sure, be proud that "energy transitions are possible" With enough of other people's money, anything is possible x.com/BjornLomborg/s…

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about SNAP benefits. It is designed as a crucial safety net that helps needy families put food on their tables and avoid hunger and food insecurity When someone is on SNAP, they need access to food. No one needs soda and candy to

The era of climate hysteria is rapidly coming to an end It's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did Lack of protests over Trump’s action on energy shows how little anyone ever really cared about global warming Roger: “The ‘climate first’ voter is

Awful misappropriation of public funds: The EU Commission secretly paid green NGOs vast amounts to turn public opinion against coal, pesticides and free trade. Instead of fostering democratic debate, Brussels funds activism to push its green agenda. archive.ph/XU6Wv

Spain keeps claiming that solar and wind didn't cause the blackout (lack of spinning momentum to ensure power stability) but they've increased their gas power use by 41% to "stabilize the country’s power network" using gas "as a reinforcement of electricity supply security"
