"In his 2001 book, "The Skeptical Environmentalist," Danish statistician Bjoern Lomborg said concerns about melting ice caps, deforestation, acid rain were exaggerated. He claimed that the global environmental situation was not deteriorating. The book was translated into a dozen languages and generated criticism from environmentalists worldwide. The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty said Tuesday that the 350-page book "is clearly in violation of the norms for good scientific behavior." ...Hans Henrik Brydensholt, the panel's chairman, said Lomborg did not make "thorough searches for all available sources ... including what goes against one's supposition." ...The ruling didn't include any penalty, but opponents of the Liberal-Conservative government said it was an indicator that Lomborg shouldn't have been named director of the national Environmental Assessment Institute, which monitors the use by state agencies of public funds aimed at cutting pollution. "Bjoern Lomborg is a provocative environmental debater (and) he should be allowed to be that," said Pernille Blach Hansen of the opposition Social Democrats. "The problem is that he and the government have presented him as something he is not: namely a scientist." ..." GSV Analyze __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
