Top Climate Skeptic Does a 180, Urges Immediate Action on Climate Change

by Angela September 2nd, 2010 - 1 Comment »

In 2001, Bjorn Lomborg published a book called The Skeptical Environmentalist. In it, he postulated that global warming may not be occurring since short-term data were being used to substantiate long-term changes in climate. His book, and this basic premise, have collectively been clarion calls for climate change skeptics.

Lomborg has now released another book, Smart Solutions to Climate Change, in which he calls for clear action on climate change and postulates cost-efficient methods to do so. Lomborg defends himself against being a “flip-flopper” as stating that he never disputed climate change itself, only the statistical methods that were being used to evaluate it.

In any case, this reversal in the attitude of a key climate change denier is a step in the right direction, and it sure won’t hurt his book sales either.

    Key climate change denier? He was never a denier and he was never key. My guess is the same dozen or so people who bought his last book will buy this one.

    Cheer up the climate fraud is over. Go home, you lost.
