Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Leftist politicians and the “intellectual elite” prioritize a vague plan for saving earth over the lives of struggling people all over the world. Governments are being forced to press their citizens, straining already fragile economic and agricultural systems, in order to appease a globalist utopian vision. Bjørn Lomborg and Ralph Schoellhammer sit down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss the faults in this plan, and the people who are suffering because of it. Bjørn Lomborg is a Danish author, having written numerous books on climate change such as “False Alarm,” “The Skeptical Environmentalist,” and “How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place.” He is the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center that focuses on doing the most good, for the most people, with increasingly limited budgets. Previously, Lomborg was the director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute. Ralph Schoellhammer is a scholar and journalist operating in Europe who has diligently covered overlooked stories such as the Dutch Farmers Protest. He is also an assistant Professor of international relations at Webster Vienna Private University, and produces a podcast following political psychology and institutionalism called the Global Wire. —Links— For Lomborg Website: https://www.lomborg.com/ "What are the smartest solutions for the world?” We did a big book with 50+ teams of economists and several Nobel Laureates, but you can skip to the one-pager here: https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/sites/default/files/post2015brochure_m.pdf Thinking about climate, read my free, peer-reviewed article https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162520304157 , or my new book, False Alarm https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1541647467/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=copenhagencon-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1541647467&linkId=3d85b64ef21c87397ee32796d8cc75b6."

0:10.6	Hello, everyone.
0:16.2	I'm extremely pleased today and privileged, I would say, to sit down with Bjorn Lomburg,
0:21.9	who I regard as the world's foremost commentator on environmental and sustainability matters
0:29.1	in the best possible sense. And Ralph Schullhammer, a journalist who's been working in Europe diligently
0:35.3	covering such ill-covered topics as the Dutch farmers protest. And I recorded a video earlier
0:43.0	this week with Michael Yon who is a war correspondent and a journalist who's also been covering
0:49.1	the farmers protests. And he made a variety of prognostications about the dismal prospects of
0:54.4	the coming fall. And I thought I would talk to Björn and Ralph in some detail about global issues,
1:01.2	particularly with Björn, because as I said, he's incredibly well versed in such matters.
1:08.0	And then with Ralph more particularly about the rising wave of protests around the world,
1:14.6	Canada, the US, Europe, well in other countries as well. And see if we can bring some clarity to
1:19.8	the issue. So I'll start with a bio of Björn and Ralph so that people know who I'm talking to
1:26.2	and then we'll jump right into the discussion. Ralph Schullhammer is an assistant professor
1:31.9	in political science and economics at Webster University Vienna. In addition to his teaching and
1:38.6	research commitments, he is a regular contributor to the public discourse and has been published
1:44.8	in Newsweek, the Jerusalem Post, the Washington Examiner, and the Wall Street Journal. He also
1:51.2	hosts his own podcast called The 1020 in which he talks to guests about a wide range of issues
1:59.1	from Roman history to contemporary culture in the Western world as well as global geopolitics.
2:04.8	Dr. Björn Lomborg, one of the world's foremost political thinkers,
2:13.0	researches, and this is the truth, the smartest ways to do good. With his think tank, the Copenhagen
2:21.6	consensus, he has worked with hundreds of the world's top economists and seven Nobel laureates
