On this week’s episode of Pod and Man at Yale, Buckley Beacon Editor-in-Chief Owen Tilman ’27 interviewed climate policy expert Bjorn Lomborg ahead of his talk at Yale:

  • Lomborg: “The world is actually, on pretty much all measurable variables getting better, but there are still lots of problems to fix. But let’s stop fixing them because we think this is the end of the world…let’s be smart and think about what we can do best.”
  • Lomborg: “It’s really really wrong when scientists try to pretend to also be politicians at the same time.”
  • Lomborg: “The U.N. climate panel report, the IPCC is right, there is manmade global warming. The conversation that I have is how bad is it. And I argue, much less bad than what people talk about. And what are the right solutions. And it’ll often turn out that the rights solutions are not the ones that you hear about.”
  • Lomborg: “That’s really the conversation we need to have and we can’t have that if everybody is just running around like chickens without their heads and saying, ‘Oh my god. The world is coming to an end.’”
