Global warming will mean more problems that will mean benefits, that's why it's a problem.

But making it into this unmitigated disaster is simply silly.

It's not like a one degree temperature rise has actually made us poor or worse off.

Again, what we've seen is we dramatically increased our benefits, we're much better educated,

we live longer, we have a better opportunity in almost all kinds of ways and we don't

die more from climate disasters, we're dying 99% less from climate disasters.

So what the world shows us is that despite this somewhat small problem of climate change,

we have dramatically improved our life quality in all kinds of areas.

Hello and welcome to Trigonometry, I'm Franzis Foster.

I'm Constantine Kissen.

This is a show for you if you want honest conversations with fascinating people.

Our brilliant guest today is an author and the former director of the Danish Environmental

Assessment Institute, Bjorn Lombog.

Welcome to Trigonometry.

Hey, it's great to be here, thank you.

It's great to have you here joining us in our new studio, we really appreciate you coming

on the show Bjorn.

Before we get into talking about the climate, the environment and all of that good stuff,

tell us a little bit about who are you, how are you where you are, what has been the

journey that leads you to be sitting here talking with two comedians over the internet?

Oh, just my life story and preferably in two minutes, right?

Exactly.
