https://nypost.com/2025/05/07/opinion/cheap-solar-and-wind-is-a-lie-green-countries-pay-more/By Bjorn LomborgAsk families in Germany and the UK what happens when more and more supposedly “cheap” solar and wind power is added to the national power mix, and they can tell you by looking at their utility bills: It gets far more expensive. The idea that power should get cheaper as we get more green energy is only true if we exclusively used electricity when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing.

The electric car is widely seen as a simple, clean solution to climate change. In reality, it’s inefficient, relies on massive subsidies, and leaves behind a trail of pollution and death that is seldom acknowledged. [emphasis, links added]Climate activists and politicians constantly remind us that electric cars are cleaner, cheaper, and better. Canada and many other countries have promised to prohibit the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a decade.

https://financialpost.com/opinion/solar-wind-power-expensiveBy Bjorn Lomborg, Special to Financial PostExcerpt:Global evidence is clear: Adding more solar and wind to the energy supply pushes up the price of electricity. Ontario families and businesses already know this — from bitter experience. Beginning in 2005, Ontario began phasing out coal and dove headlong into subsidizing wind and solar generation. That green shift led to a sharp rise in electricity prices.

https://archive.ph/l5N9R#selection-2991.0-3741.161By Bjorn Lomborg, Special to Financial PostExcerpt:We often hear that cutting carbon emissions is a priority because climate change is causing world hunger and even Canada will be hit by higher food prices and less choice. These alarmist claims are far from true, and the policies that usually accompany them would hurt, not help. Over the past century, hunger has declined dramatically.

Nearly half of young Canadians surveyed in a 2022 study said they believed humanity is doomed because of climate change, while more than three-quarters said they were frightened. No wonder. [emphasis, links added]They have grown up bombarded both by footage of natural disasters, not just in Canada but around the world, and by activists’ claims that climate change is making the planet unliveable. But that’s just wrong.

https://nypost.com/2025/03/06/opinion/un-pushes-awful-green-deal-policies-while-also-spreading-eco-lies/By Bjorn LomborgThe United Nations is at a crossroads. President Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization, cut funding for the UN’s Climate Convention, and more withdrawals are likely in the pipeline. He calls the UN an “underperformer,” suggesting it is a swamp to be drained.

The United Nations is at a crossroads. President Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization, cut funding for the UN’s Climate Convention, and more withdrawals are likely in the pipeline. [emphasis, links added]He calls the UN an “underperformer,” suggesting it is a swamp to be drained.

Across the world, public finances are stretched dangerously thin. Per-person growth continues dropping while costs are climbing for pensions, education, health care, and defense. [emphasis, links added]These urgent priorities could easily require an additional three to six percent of GDP. Yet green campaigners are loudly calling for governments to spend up to 25 percent of our GDP, choking growth in the name of climate change. If climate Armageddon were imminent, they would have a point.
