Bjorn Lomborg: Our priorities for saving the world

So... Trying to stop the global warming, save a lot of animal species, forests, ice, lakes and even ourselves is "very little"..? Oh sure! They are economists! They just want to make people richer! XD

@ElcoGollo Pick an endangered species and ask yourself which you'd rather save: that or part of the human race from a preventable diseasse?

An endangered species. We can save that part of the human race with the money of all the rich and greedy people (Morgan, Rothschild, etc...)

@ElcoGollo the point is that, it's easier to get results from trying to stop AIDS and diseases, rather than spending billions trying to help global warming that might not be as effective.

Yes, I know that, but it is not about the easier thing... It is about the most important things no matter how hard they are. If we broke it we should fix it.

How much is a species worth? Feeding a child? It's completely bs to claim you can simply put price tag to that and priorities. It's very subjective.

@DasKrabbe It is subjective but very often most people would agree that saving many people at a lower cost is better than the alternative. It would be interesting to know if you thought spending the money on saving species X is better than saving Y people dying from preventable illness Z. Subjective but it's up to you to answer.

The emails show amazing unethical behavior.

Anyone who criticized their research was libeled, fired, ejected from IPCC and journals, etc. So, the consensus was rigged.

And scientists who discover the empirical data falsifies the theory immediately become "denier" fools.

UEA research isn't valid science because they made sure it could not be repeated or peer reviewed.

The IPCC report stands on this foundation!

If you care about the environment and science, you cannot stand for this.

Do you believe the most wasteful greedy overpaid people among us ie politicians really care about the planet ? have you ever known more wasteful organizations than government ? The west via the worlds banksters has destroyed Africa this goon overlooks that insignificant little fact .

This guy makes so much sense. He has so many great ideas and overall philosophy. One thing he overlooks is Moral Hazard. If governments were not involved, his cost figures are probably fairly close. Unfortunately, most of Africa has no infrastructure, and their is very little freedom. Getting rid of farm subsidies in the western world should be higher on the list.
