Lem died aged 57 from pancreatic cancer at Aker University Hospital in Oslo, two months after it was diagnosed. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, then six years old.
Lem joined The Future In Our Hands in the 1970s, fronting an organization demanding higher fuel prices, higher taxation and increased aid to developing countries. In 1994, he was a strong opponent in the European Union membership referendum, but in the 2000s, he stated that he had come to favor Norwegian membership, since he felt the EU was better at solving environmental issues than the Norwegian authorities. He has also criticized the Norwegian authorities' immigration policy. In the last few weeks of his life, he stated that he would like more public debate about death.
