Why Climate Change Should NOT Be A Priority!

Why does Bjorn Lomborg believe that the current discussion & solutions for climate change are not only unhelpful, but will hurt the poor? In Episode #182 on 'Climate Change' Juan and I discuss: Bjorn Lomborg and his book False Alarm, the outcomes predicted by the UN climate science reports, analysing how much good $1 spent can achieve across varied categories, why some of the proposed solutions to climate change will actually end badly, implementing a carbon tax/innovation/adaptation and some general observations from the conversations between JBP & Bjorn.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
