At the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) event, climate economist Bjorn Lomborg challenged the climate alarmism perpetuated by politicians and costly green policies.

Lomberg dismantles climate alarmism

ARC has been called an alternative to the doom and gloom messages espoused by the World Economic Forum (WEF). 

Speaking at the ARC event, Lomborg argued that while global warming is real and man-made, the threat is often exaggerated. 

Lomborg dismantled several myths, such as ‘the world is burning because of climate change,’ pointing to a huge decline in the percentage of the global surface area burned over the past century. 

“People don’t like stuff burning, and so they actually make sure things don’t burn. This is human ingenuity,” Lomborg said.

He also brought up the inconvenient fact that cold-related deaths far exceed those caused by heat. In Europe and the US, for example, cold kills ten times more people annually than heat. 

“Why is it our politicians only talk about the heat and not the cold? It’s much more convenient, but it doesn’t make it right,” he said.

Lomborg further pointed out that deaths from climate-related disasters have decreased by over 98% in the last century due to technological advancements. 

Discussing the economic impact of global warming, Lomborg estimated a GDP reduction of 2-3% by the end of the century. 

“If you’re going to try to fix a 2 to 3% problem, you don’t want to end up spending 10 to 15% fixing it because that’s a really bad deal,” he said. “Our current climate policy [is] unrealistic, unsustainable… The current policies are dumb beyond belief and we won’t be able to afford them.”

Wildfires across the globe have deceased over the past twenty years, but reporting on climate change increased by 400% between 2010 and 2022.

For the first time in all of human existence, people all over the world are able to bypass top down one-way information dissemination. It is a massive truth leak. It opens minds. This has NEVR happened before. It’s like a Gutenberg revolution multiplied by millions. Think about this: is it any wonder the authoritarian, totalitarian estalishments all over the world want so badly to crush down the Internet? They had it so good for so many decades hiding behind their propagandistic legacy media. They viciously *hate* Internet not being in their control. Nowadays these totalitarians label dissenters as “misinformation spreaders” or “conspiracy theorists” or “deniers” etc. Things haven’t changed at all from millennia ago when the elitists accused dissenters as being “heretics,” “witches,” etc. Only the labels have changed.

I’ve been following the global warming/climate change shtick for 20 years now, and I haven’t seen one shred of hard evidence that human activity has anything to do with it. So there.

These corrupt politicians will go to the extreme just to gain control. Problem, reaction, and solution. They already have a solution even before they have introduced the problem. The silent majority are kept in fear 24 hours a day. When one problem is solved to the benefit of the Elite the next one is on its way. The silent majority needs to wake up before it’s too late.

Thanks to online independent research and information sources like The Counter Signal, the hoi polloi are slowly being woken up. Too slow in my opinion, but it *is* working.
