Mycket intressant tråd det här. Tack Ruskigbuss för en bra serve och Caine för snabba och välskrivna svar samt intressanta länkar. Har grävt lite grann:
Lomborg verkar vara en skum typ. Men han behövs inte i denna debatt, så vi lämnar honom.

Kolla Lomborgs sida så får du se att han fått upprättelse av
The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty, som säger att kritiken från
The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation inte bara var felaktig, utan även "emotional" och "completely void of argumentation". De hade alltså bestämt sig för vad de skulle säga innan de hade läst boken:

The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DSCD) have finally ended their case March 12, 2004, rejecting the original complaints. They have decided that the original decision is invalid and has ended any further inquiry. You can read my press comments here.
The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has December 17 2003 repudiated findings by the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DSCD) that Bjørn Lomborg’s book “The Skeptical Environmentalist” was “objectively dishonest” or “clearly contrary to the standards of good scientific practice”
The Ministry, which is responsible for the DSCD, has released a highly critical assessment of the Committee’s January 7 ruling. The Ministry finds that the DCSD judgment was not backed up by documentation, and was “completely void of argumentation” for the claims of dishonesty and lack of good scientific practice.
The Ministry characterises the DCSD’s treatment of the case as “dissatisfactory”, “deserving criticism” and “emotional” and points out a number of significant errors. The DSCD's verdict has been remitted.

Om du dessutom kollar upp de forskare som kritiserat Lomborg hårdast så tillhör de nästan uteslutande miljörörelsen, så man bör nog granska deras uttalanden också.
