Stop listening to #gretathunberg and #extinctionrebellion nutters. Be rational like #bjørnLomborg

“… from 2019 through the end of Carlson’s show in 2023, he hosted failed politician #MichaelShellenberger 21 times, climate change denier #MarcMorano 14 times, meteorologist #JoeBastardi 8 times, and fossil fuel shill #BjornLomborg 4 times. These guests pushed the “Great Reset” conspiracy theory, cherry-picked statistics to downplay the impacts of extreme weather, or suggested climate activism is a “cult” or a ‘new religion.’”

The "doable dozen" is a phrase that #BjornLomborg picked up from #JordanPeterson on the April 3 interview. The list is now more complete at Halftime for the Sustainable Development Goals microsite at https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/halftime

> The 12 best policies to scale up, that our experts have identified, cover a wide range of areas: tuberculosis, education, maternal and newborn health, agricultural research and development, malaria, e-procurement, nutrition, land tenure security, chronic diseases, trade, child immunization and skilled migration.

> The benefit of these 12 best policies can really only be described as momentous. It will save 4.2 million lives each year and generate $1.1 trillion in additional economic benefits each and every year for the developing world.

A series of articles by #BjornLomborg with leading media outlets has been lined up. This article in Forbes sets a direction.

> But in 2015, when the world replaced the #MDGs [#MillenniumDevelopmentGoals], things went wrong. World leaders could again have chosen to focus on a few, crucial targets. They could even have kept the same targets, since they are so important to the world’s most vulnerable people. We could have focused on pinpointing where the needs are deepest and the opportunities are greatest.

> Instead, the #UnitedNations and world leaders came up with a hodge-podge, absurdly long list of 169 targets for the world to achieve from 2015-2030: the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals.

A new book by #BjornLomborg is coming out, #BestThingsFirst. I listened to the 2-hour interview by #JordanPeterson released on April 3 (as usual, while on my bike and driving). The timing seems related to the upcoming #UnitedNations meeting in October, where we are at the midpoint of the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #SDGs, and failing.

Here's a text summary of the interview. The list of 12 proposed initiatives isn't given as straightforward, but the idea that we might succeed on some things rather than failing on everything is likely to be appealing to many.

https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-7978 #LaNiña #björnlomborg Donderdag 12-01-2023 '#opwarming oceanen gaat lijnrecht omhoog, verstoring van grote zeestromen dreigt', kopte De Volkskrant gisteren naar aanleiding ven nieuwe cijfers die twee wetenschapsteams, uit China en de VS, gisteren bekendmaakten. 'Lijnrecht' is een beetje overdreven, maar het gaat toch wel heel erg snel vergeleken met de millennia waarin de warmte-inhoud van de wereldzeeën nauwelijks veranderde..

For 20 years, the billionaire press told us "we can easily adapt to a warmer world".

Try telling that to people in Germany, Belgium and the western seaboard of North America. And this is just one degree of heating.

The media did this, as surely as the fossil fuel companies. Let's not forget those who told us there was little to worry about. People with massive media platforms, who helped push us towards catastrophe.

• Matt Ridley
• Bjorn Lomborg
• Nigel Lawson
• Christopher Booker
• David Rose
• Peter Hitchens ....The roll of dishonour is long and grim

And, of course, their editors and proprietors. And the so-called thinktanks shilling for the fossil fuel companies. Doubtless they all believed they were being ever so clever. But if we recall their names at all, we'll remember them as traitors to humanity...
