# Bjørn Lomborg Back to [[Topics/Climate Change Science and Policy Debate/Climate Change Science and Policy Debate|Climate Change Science and Policy Debate]] · [[Topics/Climate Change Science and Policy Debate/Research and Evidence|Research and Evidence]] **Role:** Danish political scientist; president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center; climate-policy cost-benefit critic. > **Full profile:** [[Authors/@BjornLomborg/BjornLomborg-x-profile|@BjornLomborg]]. This note is now a pointer. The author archive holds his identity and third-party assessments, [[Authors/@BjornLomborg/Chronological List|Chronological List]], [[Authors/@BjornLomborg/Topical List|Topical List]], [[Authors/@BjornLomborg/Books/Books Overview|Books Overview]], fact-checks and [[Authors/@BjornLomborg/People/People|People]]. - Author of *The Skeptical Environmentalist* (2001), *False Alarm* (2020) and *Best Things First* (2023); visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution ⚠️ (as of 2020 per Wikipedia). - He accepts human-caused warming but argues that aggressive net-zero policies cost more than the damages they avoid. That puts him on the **policy/economics** side of this topic, distinct from Clack's denial of the physics. - Overlap with this topic's notes: RCP8.5 plausibility (cites Pielke Jr and Hausfather), the cost of net zero (cf. McKinsey's $275T), greening and crop yields.
