Governments spends trillions to fight climate change, but Lomborg says many of these policies are “not an efficient way of spending.”

For saying this, Lomborg has been called "the devil." The Danish government even targeted him for his views on climate change.

"I'm not trying to do something that's immoral or anything," he tells me. "I'm simply trying to make sure that we get it right."
