351: The stupidity of Net Zero | Bjorn Lomborg

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Bjorn Lomborg. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked European industry is in freefall, and Net Zero is to blame. Here, climate economist Bjorn Lomborg – author of Best Things First and False Alarm – explains how panic over climate change is doing far more damage than climate change itself. Swapping cheap and dependable fossil fuels for unreliable and expensive renewables costs our economies trillions, but for little environmental gain, Lomborg says. Plus, he tackles the myth of the ‘climate apocalypse’ and explains why there are more polar bears than ever.
