* E & E. tv: Skeptical enviro Bjorn Lomborg discusses post-Kyoto roadmap, calls Kyoto " feel good strategy " ( OnPoint, 12 December 2007 )

Quiggin argued that the members of the 2004 panel, selected by Lomborg, were, " generally towards the right and, to the extent that they had stated views, to be opponents of Kyoto .".

Lomborg had argued in his book that claims by environmentalists about global warming, overpopulation, deforestation, and other matters are not scientifically substantiated.

Lomborg argued, on the basis of cost-benefit analysis, that few environmentalist claims warranted serious concern.

In 2002, Lomborg and the Environmental Assessment Institute founded the Copenhagen Consensus, which seeks to establish priorities for advancing global welfare using methodologies based on the theory of welfare economics.

The EAI was seen by some as a vehicle created for Lomborg, whose book The Skeptical Environmentalist argues that many perceived environmental problems are vastly exaggerated by environmental lobby and that policy responses based on such exaggerated claims are often misguided.

Commenting on the 2004 Copenhagen Consensus, climatologist and IPCC author Stephen Schneider criticised Lomborg for only inviting economists to participate:

In February 2003, Lomborg filed a complaint with the Ministry, and in December 2003, the Ministry found that the DCSD's handling of the investigation in the case had been improper, and remitted it for re-examination.

Like Lomborg, most governments and international agencies seem to believe that the human enterprise is somehow ' decoupling ' from the environment, and so is poised for unlimited expansion.

In March 2004, the DCSD stated that since its finding had been to acquit Lomborg of the charges of scientific dishonesty ( although they had criticized his biased selection of data ), there was no basis to re-open the investigation, and dismissed the case.

Environmental skeptics, such as Bjørn Lomborg ( the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist ) dispute the claims of environmentalists, claiming they are either inaccurate or exaggerated.

The Australian presents varying views on climate change, including giving space to articles and authors who agree with the scientific consensus, such as Tim Flannery, those who agree with the cause but disagree with the methods of coping with it, such as Bjorn Lomborg, through to those who disagree that the causes or even presence of global warming are understood, such as Ian Plimer.

In order to achieve a true consensus, I think Lomborg would've had to invite ecologists, social scientists concerned with justice and how climate change impacts and policies are often inequitably distributed, philosophers who could challenge the economic paradigm of " one dollar, one vote " implicit in cost-benefit analyses promoted by economists, and climate scientists who could easily show that Lomborg's claim that climate change will have only minimal effects is not sound science.

Driessen's arguments are similar to those of environmental critic Bjørn Lomborg.

In his critique of the 2012 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Lomborg stated: " Global warming is by no means our main environmental threat.

" Lomborg claims to have consistently supported the position that global warming exists, but cost benefit analyses, as calculated by the Copenhagen Consensus ranked climate mitigation initiatives low on a list of international development initiatives when first done in 2004.

In a 2010 interview with the New Statesman, Lomborg summarized his position on climate change: " Global warming is real – it is man-made and it is an important problem.

Bjørn Lomborg (; born 6 January 1965 ) is a Danish author, academic, and environmental writer.

Lomborg approached environmental claims from a statistical and economic standpoint, and concluded that often the claims made by environmentalists were overstated.

However, in 2010, Lomborg reversed his position and he now agrees with " tens of billions of dollars a year to be invested in tackling climate change " and declared global warming to be " undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today " and " a challenge humanity must confront ".

Moreoever, Rees wrote that Collapse is " a necessary antidote " to followers of Julian Simon, such as Bjørn Lomborg who authored The Skeptical Environmentalist.

" In these he took a line similar to environmentalists such as Patrick Moore, Bjorn Lomborg and Richard D. North, explaining that he now felt that several of his previous strongly held beliefs were wrong.

Lomborg spent a year as an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, earned an M. A.

In 1998, Lomborg published four essays about the state of the environment in the leading Danish newspaper Politiken, which according to him " resulted in a firestorm debate spanning over 400 articles in major metropolitan newspapers.
