I have only recently heard about this guy, but his message is spot on in my estimation.

I am more than willing to talk to folks about this if they are not frothing at the mouth and making all kind of insane claims.
But the idiots who block Burning Man and who interrupt sporting events are killing themselves.
Lomborg is not a climate scientist. But he is a poly scie/statistician so he knows how to read data.
From his article:
Climate economic studies convincingly show that one of the best investments to fix climate in the medium run is to invest heavily in green R&D. Because research is cheap, we can explore many avenues, from better renewables and battery storage, to carbon capture and fusion, fission, carbon-neutral oil-producing algae, and more. If we can innovate on the price of green energy down below that of fossil fuels, everyone will switch — not just well-meaning rich people, but also most Chinese, Indians and Africans. The models show that each dollar invested in green energy R&D will avoid eleven dollars of climate damage.

Indeed, one of the UN Climate Panel authors warned against this: “We risk turning off the public with extremist talk that is not carefully supported by the science.”

There is a picture of Greta...with this caption.....
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has helped fuel the belief among young people that they will die of climate change.
Love it.
Especially when all the yacking is about the science.....
The UN Climate Panel’s middle-of-the-road estimate for the end of the century is that we will be even better off. There will be virtually no one left in extreme poverty, everyone will be much better educated, and the average income per person in the world will be 450 percent of what it is today. Yet, because climate is a real challenge, it will leave us less well off. Based on three decades of studies, the UN and the world’s only Nobel climate economist estimate global warming will reduce the 21st century welfare increase from 450 percent to “only” 434 percent of today’s income.
Meaning that even factoring in climate change.....things are still looking pretty rosey.

How climate change alarmists are actually endangering the planet
“You’ll die of old age, I’ll die of climate change,” reads a typical poster held by teenagers in climate rallies across the world. The media, activists and even politicians are unabashedly in…
