An Evening with Bjørn Lomborg: Putting Global Warming into Perspective Speaker: Professor Bjørn Lomborg Respondent: Dimitri Zenghelis Chair: Professor Eric Neumayer This event was recorded on 16 February 2011 in New Theatre, East Building Global warming is real, but it is often presented one-sided and in exaggerated form. This leads to bad policies that will do little to tackle the warming at extremely high cost, as evidenced by the Kyoto protocol and the new EU promises. The breakdown at Copenhagen shows that we need smarter solutions focused on getting long-term solutions like renewables that are cheaper than fossil fuels. And finally, we should remember, that if we really want to help the world, there are many other and better things we could focus on first, like malnutrition, free trade, vaccines, education, agricultural technology, education etc. Bjørn Lomborg is adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School. He is the organiser of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, which brings together some of the world's top economists, including 5 Nobel laureates, to set priorities for the world. Time magazine named Lomborg one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2004. In 2008 he was named "one of the 50 people who could save the planet" by the UK Guardian; "one of the top 100 public intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine; and "one of the world's 75 most influential people of the 21st century" by Esquire. Dimitri Zenghelis is a Senior Visiting Fellow ...
Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg interviewed on the 10 o'clock live Show, Channel 4 UK.
Bjørn Lomborg is a noted author and thinker on the world's biggest challenges. He was voted one of the "world's 100 most influential people" by Time Magazine, and one of "50 people who could save the world" by The Guardian. His most recent book "Cool It" has been turned into a Hollywood movie, which recently opened to rave reviews in the US and Canada, and will be showing in the UK early next year. Lomborg is also the founder and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a globally respected think tank that brings together the world's leading economists to prioritize major global problems -- among them malaria, the lack of potable water and HIV/AIDS-- based upon a cost/benefit analysis of available solutions. His work on global warming brings this kind of cost-effectiveness thinking to the climate debate. Between the extremes of panic and denial, he advocates a calm, rational approach, focussed on stimulating energy innovation. His call for a $100 billion fund to fight climate change was recently splashed on the front page of The Guardian. Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion with one of one of the world's most provocative thinkers. Want to know more? Watch the "Cool it" trailer here: coolit-themovie.com
11/29/10: As COP 16 begins in Mexico, right-wing contrarian Bjorn Lomborg tells the climate deniers at Fox Business Network that we can wait a few more decades to start worrying about global warming pollution.
(* - without costing Big Oil a dime) Does Lomborg think we were bjorn yesterday?
Bjorn Lomborg, producer of the movie "Cool It," discusses the film and its objectives. Lomborg says global warming is a real problem, but it's not as urgent as many people make it out to be. Lomborg says that approach has led to panic and bad policy decisions. He says the film analyzes level-headed, common-sense approaches to dealing with climate change.
The Skeptical Environmentalist and The Sierra Club: Lomborg and Pope Tackle Climate Change Bjorn Lomborg, Author, Cool It; Skeptical Environmentalist Carl Pope, Chairman, The Sierra Club Craig Miller, Senior Editor, Climate Watch, KQED Radio - Moderator Watch the movie Cool It (before it even comes out in theatres!), then debate the issues. Skeptical environmentalist Lomborg declares that global warming is a chief concern facing the world, but says we should focus our resources on more immediate concerns like fighting poverty and HIV/AIDS. INFORUM is hosting a pre-release screening of Cool It, the film based on Lomborg's 2007 book, which outlines Lomborg's climate solutions. Are these the same solutions that the Sierra Club's Pope would offer up? Probably not. This pair of environment advocates will tackle the issues in an exclusive discussion after the screening. Find out what happens when the environment's devout defender meets the climate change critic.
The sometimes controversial man behind the book and new documentary COOL IT chats with Mark Walters of bigfanboy.com about some of the many interesting issues outlined in the film. You may not understand everything Bjorn Lomborg is talking about, and you may not even agree with him on it all, but you must admit... the guy knows how to get you thinking.
Bjorn Lomborg, director of "Cool It," a film for skeptical environmentalists, gives his view on the media coverage of global warming.
The Skeptical Environmentalist is a controversial book by Danish author Bjørn Lomborg. In oxford an environmentalist cream pied him in protest of his denial of climate change. Danish anti-environmentalist author Bjorn Lomborg today received his just desserts courtesy of a fellow writer enraged at his "dangerous and misleading" statements on crucial green issues. A pie was thrown in his face at Borders Bookshop in Oxford just after 7pm Sept 4 2001 Lomborg's heavily-promoted new book 'The Skeptical Environmentalist' claims variously that consumer waste isn't a problem, that species loss is minimal, and that it is far too expensive to do anything about global warming. Pie-man Mark Lynas said he was unable to ignore Lomborg's comments on climate change. "I wanted to put a Baked Alaska in his smug face," said Lynas, "in solidarity with the native Indian and Eskimo people in Alaska who are reporting rising temperatures, shrinking sea ice and worsening effects on animal and bird life."
Political scientist and author Professor Bjorn Lomborg will detail how global warming is real, important and manmade, but how the information has been presented in a one-sided and alarmist manner. This has lead to panic and poor policy decisions.
FORA.tv's own Stuart Schulzke interviews climate policy critic Bjørn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, on the final day of the COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Lomborg gives his take on agreements reached by the participating nations, his own controversial views on climate change policy, and the ongoing debate on the causes and potential effects of global warming. This interview was recorded on December 18, 2009. Bjørn Lomborg was named one of the 100 globally most influential people by Time magazine in 2004 and has written for numerous publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. He is presently an adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School and in 2004, he started the Copenhagen Consensus, a conference of top economists who come together to prioritize the best solutions for the world's greatest challenges. Stuart Schulzke is FORA.tv's Director of Content Development. He earned two graduate degrees at the University of Oxford and his research has ranged from conflict resolution in Palestine to anti-corruption strategies in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe.

Complete interview available at: fora.tv Bjørn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, predicts a disappointing outcome for the COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. "We are going to have a very beautiful worded document with lots of promises," he says. "There's a lot of vested interest in simply papering over the fact that the current process is not working."
