What do global problems cost us? By Bjorn Lomborg A conversation about energy should be put in context with the question of who needs energy and why. Bjorn Lomborg has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Copenhagen. His project, “How Much Have Global Problems Cost the World? A Scorecard from 1900 to 2050.” provides objective and surprising answers. See his video presentation on TED here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU-LTKOJY9M Sometimes people study the problem of most concern to them, get it out of proportion with all the challenges of the world, and finally propose solutions that go far beyond the problem they are concerned about. Bjorn Lomborg does a good job putting everything in perspective. At Go Nuclear, we explain how nuclear energy and nuclear science (Energy Today, Energy Tomorrow, Radioisotopes, Radiation) are fundamental to addressing the world’s actual problems for the long term future.
