The $100 Trillion Climate Plan That Changes Just 0.1°C - Bjorn Lomborg

In this compelling episode of Heretics, I’m joined by the "Skeptical Environmentalist" himself, Bjorn Lomborg, to dismantle the current narrative surrounding Net Zero and climate policy. While the world is often told that the transition to green energy will be cheap and easy, Lomborg presents a starkly different reality: a plan that could cost trillions, lead to de-industrialization, and effectively demand that you become poorer to save the planet.

We dive deep into the data they don’t want you to see—from the surprising statistics on heat versus cold deaths to the hidden costs of wind and solar. Is the current panic actually leading us toward a political and economic catastrophe? And if Net Zero is physically and politically impossible, what is the real solution to our environmental challenges?

If you're tired of the alarmist headlines and want a rational, data-driven look at the future of our planet, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.
