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

They move to their relative somewhere else.

So you'll have fewer people being vulnerable.

If people are responsive and aware.

Yeah, there's a lot of way you can do this.

So the outcome, and this is important for the whole conversation, the outcome is that we're actually becoming less vulnerable and that damages are becoming smaller, not bigger.

But had they not been global warming, it would probably have gone down even faster.

So we would have become even better off.

quicker had there been no global warming.

But this is a crucial difference, and this is what I find really hard to communicate.

Climate change is not this, oh my God, everything is going off the charts and we're all going to be doomed kind of thing.

Climate change is a thing that means we're going to get better slightly slower.

And that's a very, very different kind of attitude.

It's one of the many problems rather than this is the end of all of us.

I mean, one of the things to remember is people move to where hurricanes hit because when they're not there, it's a really beautiful place to be.

Yeah, yeah.

So in many ways, we make the trade-offs and say, look, I'm happy to have an ocean view and then maybe a hurricane is going to hit.

And of course, it becomes a lot easier than when the federal government is actually subsidizing your risk by saying we'll insure you really cheaply.

And that's one of the things that we should stop doing.

Yeah.

We should actually tell people, look, if you want to live where hurricanes hit, maybe you should be more careful.
