Complete interview available at: http://fora.tv/2009/12/15/FORAtv_Exclusive_Interview_with_Bjrn_Lomborg_at_COP15
Bjørn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, predicts a disappointing outcome for the COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. “We are going to have a very beautiful worded document with lots of promises,” he says. “There’s a lot of vested interest in simply papering over the fact that the current process is not working.”

Bjorn Lomborg makes an excellent point on R & D and investing in solutions, which he says was not discussed. Does it bother anyone that “saving the earth” for some means essentially crippling any kind of growth? When no one panics there should be all sorts of alarm bells in the West as to why “environmentalism” really has very little to do with the environment. All those Naomi Klein videos from COP15 earlier this week should have been a dead giveaway.
