The Lomborg chill effect hits again

October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

September 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Bjorn Lomborg is a reckless economist, pursuing disingenuous truthiness in arguing that fighting global warming isn’t worth the effort.  While, Lomborg has received serious criticism after serious criticism of his work all over the globe, it looks like his world is heating up a bit as the Post-Carbon Institute has put together a collection of [...]
