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

So again, it's a little bit, you know, flock of birds.

We'll look at something else.

And what I think is that given that we're paying for it at the end, this is, you know, this is public money.

We're deciding we're going to spend money here rather than there.

Let's at least, you know, look at what are the best estimates out there.

I would love to have more estimates of

More estimates is always better.

And, you know, you put me on the podcast.

Of course, I'm going to say I'm a trustworthy guy.

But, yeah.

Can I just follow up on that?

Because one of the things that I try to do, and so my day job is actually something else I work with, I think called the Copenhagen Consensus, where we work with more than 300 of the world's top economists and we work with seven Nobel laureates in economics.

And the point there is really to talk about where can you spend a dollar?

and do the most good for the world.

That's basically the thing that we try to do.

And as you rightly point out, look, there are lots of different estimates of what can you do, for instance, on climate?

What can you do on tuberculosis?

What can you do for vulnerability in all kinds of different ways?

And if these were all sort of, well, you can spend a dollar here and do 2.36, but you can spend a dollar here and do 2.34 over here.

I would worry a lot, but that's not how the world works because we're terribly inefficient.
