Bjorn Lomborg quotes
" A review was published in Nature, very scathing, essentially calling me incompetent, though they didn't use that word. I am putting a reply on my Web site in a few days, where I go through their arguments, paragraph by paragraph. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" All the models agree about this, that Kyoto is going to cut warming by perhaps 10 per cent in 2100, or to put it more clearly, it's simply going to postpone warming for about six years in 2100. Warming that we would otherwise have had in 2100 will now be postponed by Kyoto to 2106. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" But this is an occupational hazard of being a scientist. You say this is the best information I have and then you realize that not everyone is going to read the footnotes or the whole book, so people are going to get the wrong impression. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" Even if I was a bad right wing guy, to the extent of whether my arguments are right or wrong, they're right or wrong independently if I'm right or left. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" Even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) tells us that many of the temperate countries are going to have a small benefit from warming, whereas tropical countries, which is where most developing countries are, will have severe problems. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" I certainly worry and feel uncomfortable that people I have very little in common with politically will be able to use my arguments. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" I really have to stress, I don't have a positive view. I'm not here to cheer people up. If the bottom line was negative, that is what we should say. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" I really try to say things as they basically are and it so happens that it is a good message that things are getting better, but there are still problems. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" 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
" I'm an old Greenpeace guy, and my first reaction was exactly the same thing as I see most other people reacting to what I say. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" In the same way, we have to investigate the solar mechanism, but right now, the IPC claims that it's probably not the main cause. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it's likely that we'll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" Just because there is a problem doesn't mean that we have to solve it, if the cure is going to be more expensive than the original ailment. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" More important are the changes in agriculture and infrastructure, and to a large extent it's going to be a loss of production, simply because it's going to be so hot that you will have lower yields than you would otherwise have had, for a vast number of different agricultural products. "

Bjorn Lomborg
" My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation. "
