Bjørn Lomborg: How Rising Temperatures Will Save Lives

A spell of extremely hot weather has hit Europe this month, bringing with it a raft of apocalyptic headlines.

Named Charon, after the boatman in Greek mythology who navigated the river Styx into Hades, the heatwave has immediately been linked to climate change and, by extension, humanity’s faltering attempts to combat it.

Bjørn Lomborg is the former director of the Danish government’s Environmental Assessment Institute in Copenhagen, as well as an author widely known for his bestselling book The Skeptical Environmentalist, which challenged the pessimism of climate change orthodoxy.

He spoke to UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers this week to argue that, in the short to medium term at least, rising temperatures actually provide humanity with positive opportunities, and can save rather than eradicate lives.

    Meanwhile, here in North East England, it’s bloody cold and miserable, has been overcast and raining since around mid-July.
    For all intents and purposes, let’s just say it’s a very early Autumn (“Fall”).
    Was a matter of Summer lasting a few days.

    There have been a few EMF’s being directed to the sky, but due to cloud cover, not many chemtrails were to be seen.
