Lomborg takes the example of United Kingdom, whose Net Zero law enacted in 2019 committed it to zero emissions by 2050. The Lomborg ConundrumBjørn Lomborg occupies a curious and increasingly uncomfortable position in the climate wars. Lomborg insists that climate change is real, that CO 2 -driven warming is a problem and that humanity must ultimately ‘solve’ it. Lomborg treats climate change as a long-term economic externality whose damages, while real, are modest relative to the benefits of growth. Lomborg has performed a valuable service in exposing the economic wreckage of Net Zero and the hollowness of green utopianism.
