The fact that we're catching more fish per person than we've ever done before doesn't mean that there are not particular places where we've managed fisheries badly. Bjorn Lomborg badlycatchfact Change image and share on social
I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He's basically taken it from a nerdy, almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely, a problem. Bjorn Lomborg basicallycoolglobal Change image and share on social
Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it' s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn't over the last 150 years. Bjorn Lomborg bringcentimetreend share on social
For the longest time in Denmark I didn't want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant. Bjorn Lomborg denmarkirrelevantlong Change image and share on social

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them. Bjorn Lomborg buycheapcomputer Change image and share on social
I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society, we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view. Bjorn Lomborg earthencounterfull share on social

I found university a little dispiriting. I thought I would enter the great halls of Plato, but instead I entered the halls of an intellectual sausage factory. I wanted to do something not on the main course, and chose the environment. Bjorn Lomborg choosedispiritenter share on social
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring. If our starting point is to prove that Armageddon is on its way, we will not consider all of the evidence, and will not identify the smartest policy choices.
