Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Bjørn Lomborg go through each of the “doable dozen,” a series of issues that cost relatively little to solve, and yet doing so would yield exponential returns for developing countries and their impoverished citizens. 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 which focuses on doing the most good for the most people, with increasingly limited budgets.

Hello everyone watching and listening on YouTube and associated platforms and all on the

Daily Wire Plus 2.

0:21.4

I'm here today.

0:22.5

I'm pleased to be here today live, so that's also good.

0:26.0

With Bjorn Lomburg runs Think Tank called Copenhagen Consensus in Denmark and Bjorn

0:33.6

has done the most detailed and reliable analysis of spending prioritization, I would say, that

0:40.6

there are a number of enterprises that are underway on the international front, but it's

0:46.1

a chaotic mess of jumbled priority and that's a big problem because it makes everything

0:50.6

super expensive and inefficient, which might be a feature rather than a bug.

0:55.4

And Bjorn and his team have spent, well, it's more than a decade now, damn near 20 years,

1:02.6

determining how to prioritize our approaches on the national and international front in

1:09.3

relationship to the multitude of problems that be set us.

1:13.4

And it's important to stress multitude because we have a proclivity in the woke west to reduce

1:19.3

the entire panoply of problems that confront us or opportunities depending on how you look

1:24.9

at it to a single climate emergency and then to reduce that to a single cause, carbon,

1:31.4

and then to assume that if we oppose carbon, we're now acting as the appropriate representatives

1:36.9

of the Messiah on the planet.

1:38.8

And none of that constitutes acceptable theology, let's say, a let alone policy.

1:44.6

So I'm going to talk to Bjorn today about what he's been up to recently, but then we're

1:48.4

going to walk through 12 projects that Bjorn and his team of economists, it's a meta

team of economists because there's many teams working, what they believe, where we can

do the most good for the least amount of money in the shortest period of time with the highest
