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

We need to get people to realize we're not going to get off fossil fuels anytime soon.

So we need...

reasonably affordable fossil fuels for most of the world.

And that's, of course, why we need to focus so much more on the innovation so that we can get to the point where we no longer need fossil fuels as soon as possible.

But to say to everyone, look, we're going to make fossil fuels expensive way before we have the solution is just terrible.

It would only be 24% that disagree with the UN climate panel.

Three quarters would agree.

Are you uncomfortable about the 29%?

No, 29 is actually, it's exactly right.

I mean, the UN doesn't say it's all.

Well, they say that could be the border case.

I mean, I'm not American, so I should stay a little bit out of this, but I think it seems to me that a lot of the thing that people believe and talk about is really about what they worry that that

will lead to in terms of policy down the line.

So a little bit like, do masks work?

I'm sort of imagining, I don't know whether this is true, but I think part of it is if I say masks work, they're going to force me to wear it for the next year.

So it doesn't work because then I don't have to wear it kind of thing.

That it's really, you're looking much further down the line.

And certainly on climate, it seems to me that a lot of the people who say it's not real,

It's not because they don't know it's – of course it's real, but it's that they don't want you to then come and regulate it really heavily.

Because they don't like top-down government.
