Hello Thor
There's an apt picture of Bjorn Lomborg, author (perpetrator?) of
The Skeptical Environmentalist here:

:-)
The local troll at the SANET sustag group was pushing Lomborg
recently as jolly good sensible stuff, and Misha Gale-Sinex, slightly
irked

I guess that he is one of the darlings of those Politicos who are
opposed to most environmental thinking shows not their interest in
science but their selectiveness and lack of ability in choosing
scientists to whom to listen.

Hi all
Bjorn Lomborg is, was, or used to be into various shades of global
warming denial, depending, I think, on which way the wind's blowing.
Recent big winds may have deepened his apparent shade of green.

Others, such as the Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg, argue that,
although global warming is real, there is little we can do to prevent
it and that we would be better off trying to adapt to living in an
altered climate.

Bjorn Lomborg, who
maintains climate change is not the greatest threat facing mankind
and resources should be spent on more pressing issues, such as
tackling HIV.
Tomorrow's findings echo a number of Lomborg's themes, as well as
maintaining that 'extreme weather' is more likely caused by a natural
and discord. Lomborg is a good example - The Sceptical
Environmentalist indeed. He's not a sceptic, he's a spin merchant.
Well, I've said it before, I'm still a doubter, I think you have to
be, the court's still out - in fact the jury hasn't even left the
room yet, the case is still being presented

received $130,000 from Exxon Mobil since 1998.

No, it's not something akin to a religious confrontation,

In doing so, he has displayed an encouraging

Lomborg et al). But the scientists themselves weren't being
sensationalist, they were reporting early indications in their

scientist Bjorn Lomborg spoke to a conservative Washington thinktank
he was applauded not merely rapturously, but fawningly.
