ABOUT BJORN LOMBORG:
Dr Bjorn Lomborg is the author of best-selling and controversial book 'The Skeptical Environmentalist', and is considered to be one of the most prominent intellectual commentators on climate change. He caused a storm in the scientific community by claiming that the current consensus on how to deal with environmental concerns is largely mistaken.
Arguing that "global warming is by no means our main environmental threat", Dr Lomborg has previously campaigned against the Kyoto Protocol and other measures to cut carbon emissions in the short-term, instead arguing for adaptation to short-term temperature rises as they are inevitable, and for spending money on research and development for longer-term environmental solutions, and on other important world problems such as AIDS, malaria and malnutrition.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY:
