Lomborg is a politician. Not a scientist. Other than reading a thermostat, he knows nothing about the climate crisis.

He has no credentials that prove he understands what Earth is doing right now. He has skills as a politician and he is trying to apply them to the climate crisis for some unknow reason.

Lomborg should be very happy that Dr. Christopher Field and the IPCC do know what they are talking about.

But, goes his message, let’s be real, there are other problems, too. Resources are scarce. The more money we spend on climate change, the less we have to grow the economy; and as we all know (or do we?) everybody benefits from growth, especially the poor. And besides, there’s not much we can do about climate change....
