Lex Fridman Podcast · #339 – Climate Change Debate: Bjørn Lomborg and Andrew Revkin · 18 Nov 2022 podcast

But are we going to fix this?

Yeah.

Can I just follow up on the other point that you said, you know, two, three, four degrees?

You know, that doesn't sound like much.

I can just crank up the air conditioning.

I think that sort of touches on a really, really important point that for most rich people,

much of climate change is not really going to be all that impactful.

It still will have an impact.

But fundamentally, if you're well off, you can mitigate a lot of these impacts.

And that's one of the important parts is both to say, look, if...

7 billion people, sorry, 8 billion people will now have all experienced this, even though for each one of them, it's manageable.

It's still a big problem because it's, you know, 8 billion people living through this.

Yes.

And, and then it's, uh, it's the, it's the point of getting to realize it's very, very much about how do you help the world's poor.

And that's very much about making it more affordable.

Uh, you know,

basically getting them out of poverty.

And remember, getting them out of poverty doesn't just mean that they can now afford to air condition themselves, but they get better education, they get better opportunities, they get better lives in so many other ways.

And then at the end of it, it's not just about making sure that we focus on this one problem, but it's recognizing that these families have lots of different issues that they would like us to focus on climate and heat waves just being one of them.

So it's sort of taking progressive steps back and realizing, all right, okay, this is a problem, not the end of the world.
