When Bjorn Lomborg's enviro-skeptic book first appeared, the mainstream capitalist press -- NY Times, Economist, Financial Times -- were tripping over themselves to praise this "important addition" to the debate, blibbety blab. Well I thought it might be useful to line up some of the links critical of Lomborg's little shill work. One thing I have to give Lomborg, he has posted a lot of the criticism on his own website. BTW, Lomborg is a *political science prof*.

If you go to www.lomborg.com, you will see he has linked to more articles, and responded to all of them.

His book is one of our texts for "Environmental Economics" these will be useful in arguing with my prof. I thought he was a statistician though?
