Bjorn Lomborg believes climate change is real - but argues that Net Zero is an enormously expensive solution that will achieve very little. We discussed what these policies will cost ordinary people, why politicians hide the trade-offs, and what might actually work instead.

Three things I learned:

  1. Net Zero could cost trillions while barely changing global temperatures.

  2. Developing countries will only switch when green energy becomes cheaper and more reliable.

  3. Innovation and adaptation may achieve far more than bans, targets and higher energy bills.
