OPINION

Climate change discourse takes a new turn

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 09/02/2026

» What a difference a single year makes. The once-dominant push to radically reshape society to avert climate catastrophe has collapsed. Look at Davos -- the talkfest long dominated by climate advocacy. That consensus has been abandoned by its once strongest proponents.

OPINION

Climate hysteria in the media has really got to stop

News, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 14/10/2025

» Reading the news, you would believe that the Great Barrier Reef -- the aquatic wonder off Australia's coast -- is on its deathbed, bleached beyond recognition by climate change. Recent headlines shouted in unison: "Great Barrier Reef suffers worst coral decline on record." Environmental journalists are in panic mode about irreversible damage. This is advocacy campaigning, not impartial reporting.

OPINION

Green energy has become a pricey delusion

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 13/05/2025

» Ask families in Germany and the UK what happens when more and more supposedly cheap solar and wind power is added to the national power mix, and they can tell you by looking at their utility bills: it gets far more expensive. This goes against everything that we're being told. Green energy is supposed to be incredibly cheap. But we're not hearing the real story.

OPINION

Climate debate is being silenced by the UN's bias

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 14/03/2025

» The United Nations is at a crossroads. US President Donald Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization (WHO), cut funding for the UN's Climate Convention, and more withdrawals are likely. He calls the UN an "underperformer", suggesting it is a swamp to be drained.

OPINION

Climate policies are getting far too expensive

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 02/11/2024

» As climate policy increasingly drives up living costs with next to no results, voters are becoming wearier of expansive green promises. We can only hope this backlash could lead to better, cheaper and more effective measures.

OPINION

The education policy that can bridge the gap

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 11/10/2024

» Children's educational test scores are a major cause for concern across the world. Learning plummeted nearly everywhere during the Covid-19 pandemic -- but even before that, standardised test result measures in mathematics, science and reading were heading in the wrong direction.

OPINION

Eyeing climate change, follow science, warily

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 06/06/2024

» We endlessly hear the flawed assertion that because climate change is real, we should "follow the science" and end fossil fuel use. We hear this claim from politicians who favour swift carbon cuts, and from natural scientists themselves, as when the editor-in-chief of Nature insists "The science is clear -- fossil fuels must go".

OPINION

Rich world raids development funds for climate

Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 27/01/2024

» Too many rich-world politicians and climate campaigners forget that much of the world remains mired in poverty and hunger. Yet, rich countries are increasingly replacing their development aid with climate spending. The World Bank, whose primary goal is to help people out of poverty, has now announced it will divert 45% of its funding toward climate change, shifting some US$40 billion annually away from poverty and hunger.

OPINION

COP28 won't admit real cost of net zero

News, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 06/12/2023

» The spectacle of another annual climate conference is getting underway in Dubai. Like Kabuki theater, performative set pieces lead from one to the other: politicians and celebrities arrive by private jets; speakers predict imminent doom; hectoring NGOs cast blame; political negotiations become fraught and inevitably go overtime; and finally: the signing of a new agreement that participants hope and pretend will make a difference.

OPINION

Why malaria still persists in much of Africa

News, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 12/06/2023

» We think of malaria as a problem faced only by humid, hot countries. But just over a century ago, the disease thrived as far north as Siberia and the Arctic Circle, and was endemic in 36 states of the US. We don't have specific data that far back for Thailand, but back then, malaria is estimated to have killed 2.5 million people each year in the Western Pacific, Middle East and South Asia.
