What Is Bjørn Lomborg Trying to Achieve? – asks Keith Kloor in his blog at DiscoverMagazine.com, and with reference to his recent profile in Cosmos.
Kloor says “it’s worth asking at this stage in his career if Lomborg is a voice of reason, a professional pot stirrer, or a trollish ankle-biter. The answer probably depends on where you sit in these debates.” I suspect from his tone in Cosmos that Kloor sees it as maybe an 80,20,0 mix, but for my part I would put it as more like 30,50,20.
Maybe I should revisit the 2002 controversy in more detail to see if a deeper look would change my view.
