Isn’t it only natural that our acquaintances, in cafés, in town, in bed, end up influencing our views, our opinions? Judgments are not at all reflections, but made to accommodate those of the circle of our acquaitances. Our habits prompt our judgments more than our tastes do. Can one shed them without tearing apart the circle of friendship? And how can we tell a taste from a habit, an inclination from a subjection?
Helping the poor and mitigating climate change are not obviously mutually exclusive alternatives. First, dealing with poverty is not strictly-speaking an opportunity cost of mitigating climate change. As Lomborg himself admits, “we are actually so rich that we can afford to do both.” 104 Hence, acting on climate change does not foreclose poverty alleviation.
