Peter Singer vs Bjorn Lomborg | The Planet vs The Poor

Today’s WSJ Saturday Essay ‘Does Helping the Planet Hurt the Poor? is a twosome, written first by Peter Singer, professor of bioethics at Princeton University and laureate professor at the University of Melbourne. His books include “Animal Liberation,” “Practical Ethics” and “The Life You Can Save”.

A counterpoint is written by Bjorn Lomborg, the author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist” and “Cool It.” He directs the Copenhagen Consensus Center and is an adjunct professor at Copenhagen Business School. Mr. Singer replies to Lomborg.
