–  Diogenes of Mayberry, Manifest Insanity

Bitumen, the world’s ugliest and most expensive hydrocarbon, can never be a reasonable substitute for light oil due to its extreme capital, energy, and carbon intensity. Bitumen looks, smells, and behaves like asphalt; running an economy on it is akin to digging up our existing road infrastructure, melting it down, and enriching the goop with hydrogen until it becomes a sulfur-rich but marketable oil.”

– Bjorn Lomborg 

“Global warming is real – it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world.”
– Bjorn Lomborg

– Bjorn Lomborg 

“There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn’t mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions.”
– Bjorn Lomborg
