Sorry, De. My apologies. It certainly wasn't intentional.

For me, the interview was very interesting because of the approach Lomborg took; he took middle of the road, based on common sense, which ought to bridge the gap between Dems and Repubs. I thought you might find that interesting.

I confess I thought you felt climate change probably isn't real. Personally, I feel the scientific evidence isn't compelling—because it is so corrupted/biased. I might have confused you with myself! ;-/

My thinking is:
(1) The science is hopelessly contaminated by government /influencers
(2) burning a billion years worth of fossil fuels in 150 years OUGHT to change the climate
(3) At the end of the day, “Climate change”, real or not, isn't - and shouldn't be – anywhere near the top of our present moment dangers.
(4) Even if global warming is both real, and dangerous, there isn nothing much we can do about it now, beyond beginning to prepare for it. Instead of probably wasting trillions to “fight” it, with high-tech and doubtful usage restrictions, we should deal with more vital, more economic issues.

Anyway, sorry for mistaking your position and, especially, for coming across impolitely. The first was ignorance. The second was ignorance +bad communication.

Re: “His interview is very informative because he doesn't deny "climate change" (which is pretty hard to do, either scientifically or LOGICALLY). He doesn't DENY ...but he puts it into relative size of risk vs cost. So I recommend the interview. Especially, to you, DE, I recommend it, because this is the point I've tried to make over and over again...but not nearly so calmly and hardheadedly.”
You are confused. I haven't said climate change isn't real. If you think I have, I encourage you to use the "search" feature and QUOTE ME so I'll at least know what you're talking about. Otherwise? Nope... haven't got a clue. You're implying that I've taken a position that I haven't. That's irresponsible, annoying and, if you're doing it intentionally, dishonest.

In fact, my position is and has been pretty much the same as what you've just posted - except I'm going to quibble over your use of the word "problem" ("There probably is a climate change problem.") - which I think is an absurdity pushed upon us by the left. Anthropogenic climate change, which MIGHT be real and might not, won't be much of a problem for decades... maybe even for a century. I've been observing the climate for my whole life and only the subtlest of things have changed for the worse. (While others have changed for the better.) So, if you will, kindly explain your use of the word.
