The Environmentalists Are Wrong

A great op-ed piece in the NY Times by Bjorn Lomborg, the director of the Environmental Assessment Institute in Denmark and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. He says that the environmentalists claim the world is in a downward spiral because of over-development. They cite all kinds of examples to prove their point. Lomborg argues that the evidence doesn’t support their claims and that the Kyoto Treaty is worthless. It’s an interesting read.
Garret at dangerousmeta! lets it be known how he feels about the Lomborg article. He links to a Web page by Lomborg’s fellow scientists who post papers with arguments against Lomborg’s claims. And I have linked to a few more pages that support Lomborg:
Skepticism.net - Global Warming
cato.org - Holes in the Greenhouse Effect?
