The debate between Bjorn Lomborg and Russell Brand on climate change focused on the challenges of reducing emissions while addressing poverty and globalism. While solar and wind energy could help reduce fossil fuel use, they only account for a fraction of overall energy use, and storing electricity remains a major challenge. To make a significant impact, a global effort to re-evaluate our understanding of supply and demand economics would be necessary. This would require addressing powerful industries and regulating costs, which is a major challenge for the current climate change movement. Russell Brand interviews Bjorn Lomborg about his position on climate change. Lomborg believes that climate change is real and man-made, but argues that current efforts to combat it are insufficient and other solutions should be pursued. He notes that while the Global Elite promote climate change solutions like ESG, they also benefit financially from them. Lomborg suggests that expensive solutions like the Paris Agreement will only solve about one percent of the problem and will negatively impact ordinary people financially. He also highlights the hypocrisy of some climate change advocates who use private jets and engage in polluting behaviors.
