From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, climate expert Bjorn Lomborg. Plus the news with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now, the last time he was this worried about a vote in New York City, he got voted off the celebrity impetus. Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get a choice. We got a mandate. You get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. We love that about you. Bjorn Lomberg has joined us from Sweden, I'm assuming. He's got thoughts. And Bjorn's been on the show a few times. Very interesting guy. It's always good to see you again, my friend. Good to be here. Thank you. So we want to talk to you because of this whole Bill Gates kind of...
or I don't know if it's a 180, maybe it's a 100 or 110 or something, but it's sort of a turnaround. It's something that I think people like you have been saying for a long time. I've been saying for a long time, which is, look, if it's going to be hot in Vegas, we have to invent something called air conditioning so that people can thrive in Las Vegas. And if you're going to have New Orleans and it's going to be below sea level, the seawater line, then we're going to have to build walls up to protect sea walls to protect them, but they're lower than sea level. Then we need to do that. And in L.A., I used to work in earthquake rehab. We earthquake-proofed old buildings. We earthquake-proofed stuff. We make it.
It's not Guatemala when an earthquake hits out here. In Los Angeles, it's completely different because we plan for it, we understand it, and we mitigated it.
Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. So Gates came out and said something I think is more sort of a clarification, but obviously it's a different sort of message than both what he's been saying and certainly what most people have been hearing. So what he told us is, yeah, sure, look, global warming is real, as you've also pointed out, as I certainly have been pointing out, but it's not the end of the world. And that's incredibly important because then people can stop running around scared like chickens with no heads and just thinking, oh, my God, the sky is falling. We need to throw everything in the kitchen sink at this one problem.
