About Bjorn Lomborg — anyone tempted to believe he’s a credible “expert” should read through the material on this website:

Lomborg Errors

His books are amazingly full of errors and misleading statements. He’s not a climate scientist — in fact, the only academic training he has is in political science and game theory, and he’s published a grand total of exactly ONE scientific paper — on game theory, not climatology.

More on Lomborg’s background and climate change denial claims:

The Lomborg Story

Just asking, Never heard the name before, saw the article in TIME, has an article this past week in WSJ and in regards to his errors…

“Response of the scientific community
The original DCSD decision about Lomborg provoked a petition[7] among Danish academics. 308 scientists, many of them from the social sciences, criticised the DCSD’s methods in the case and called for the DCSD to be disbanded.[8] The Danish Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation then asked the Danish Research Agency to form an independent working group to review DCSD practices.[9] In response to this, another group of Danish scientists collected over 600 signatures (primarily from the medical and natural sciences community) in support of the DCSD and presented their petition to the Danish Research Agency.[8]”

Looks like he has a lot of support among his peer’s.
