Reduce Consumption : Produce Locally


Q5. Why are you picking on Bjorn Lomborg?

Submitted by richardbell on September 20, 2007 - 6:58pm.

I am only interested in Lomborg as a metaphor, and as a marketing vehicle.  I have no interest in demonizing him, since he is really only a role player in a drama which dwarfs the roles of all but a very few key decision makers, who fall into two not mutually exclusive groups: first, the people who manage the flow of funds to think tanks to produce the appearance of intellectual rigor for global deniers; and second, the people who manage the flow of funds to elected officials and candidates who act to prevent or slow down action against global warming. To the extent that there is personal information about Lomborg on this site, it has to do with his role, not his personality or his personal morals.
