WATCH: Hoover Visiting Fellow Bjorn Lomborg Slaps Down Leftist Climate Alarmism on Kudlow

On Thursday, Hoover Institution visiting fellow Bjorn Lomborg joined Fox Business to slap down the left’s climate change fanaticism.

Lomborg told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow that there’s “a lot of hype going on with climate change.” He suggested that there has been a lack of a sense of proportion when it comes to the focus on climate change. Specifically, Lomborg stated that “the U.N. Climate Panel tells us that in the 2070s — so, more than 50 years from now — the net impact of global warming will be equivalent to each one of us losing [only] somewhere between 0.2 and two percent of our income.”

Lomborg put the astonishingly low threat estimates into context: “By then, [the 2070s,] we’ll be 364 percent as rich as we are today as a planet. So, instead of being 364 percent as rich, we’ll only be 356 percent as rich.” Lomborg concluded: “Yes [climate change is] a problem. No, it’s not the end of the world.”
