Since #BjornLomborg is back in the news, an excerpt from #ScienceUnderSiege by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & yours truly:
!e Pros
115
and climate scientists. Truth and consistency matter little to him.
!at’s why one week he’s on Fox News insisting that President Joe
Biden is “failing to ful#ll his green agenda,”15 while just weeks later
he’s lambasting Biden for his climate- forward actions, which include
“forcing” an energy transition16 and “halting” lique#ed natural gas.17
In his recent Fox News appearances, Morano has insisted that universities
are trying to scare young people about climate change, that
climate policy— rather than climate impacts— poses the real risk
to society, that phasing out fossil fuels is an “insane goal,” and that
renewable energy isn’t necessary and doesn’t work. All in a day’s work!
Bjorn Lomborg
Bjorn Lomborg calls himself the “skeptical environmentalist.” Of
course, he’s neither. A true skeptic subjects both sides of a proposition
to scrutiny without favor, critically evaluating and weighing the evidence,
rather than indiscriminately rejecting #ndings that don’t comport
with their ideologically driven preconceptions. And brandishing
a Greenpeace T- shirt, as he’s wont to do, hardly establishes your
environmental bona #des when you’re penning commentaries for the
Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and USA Today dismissing
the impacts of climate change, downplaying the role of renewable
energy, and promoting the supposed virtues of fossil fuels. Lomborg’s
“Copenhagen Consensus Center” does not disclose its funding or that
its address is a parcel service based in Lowell, Massachusetts (in other
words a virtual entity).
Lomborg perfectly re%ects an insidious new form of climate
denialism that has taken precedence as the reality of human- caused
warming becomes clear to the person on the street and very di"cult
to assail. He doesn’t dismiss human- caused climate change outright.
Instead, he denies the seriousness of the threat and the need to take
meaningful action. As Mike puts it: “With a smile and a professedScience Under Siege
116
concern for the environment and the poor, he scolds those who would
misguidedly wean us o$ fossil fuels and promote clean energy.”18 His
claims might seem credible, but he understates climate projections
and potential impacts, damages, and costs. In an opinion piece for
Project Syndicate, he insisted that “a 20- foot rise in sea levels&.&.&. would
inundate about 16,000 square miles of coastline, where more than
400 million people live. !at’s a lot of people, to be sure, but hardly
all of mankind. In fact, it amounts to less than 6% of the world’s
population— which is to say that 94% of the population would not
be inundated.”19 !e plight of four hundred million people, after all,
is minuscule compared to the potential billions of dollars in lost fossil
fuel– industry pro#ts.
On average, global warming is not going to
harm the developing world.
— Bjorn Lomborg
A classic example of Lomborg’s modus operandi relates to the
Canadian wild#res of summer 2023 that blanketed major East Coast
cities with smoke, including Mike’s home city of Philadelphia, which
had the worst air quality in the world for several days. !e wild#res
were part of a trend toward more widespread, dangerous, and deadly
wild#res in North America tied to warming and drying. Have no
fear, Lomborg was quick to announce to Wall Street Journal readers in
a full- length commentary on August 1 that climate change had nothing
to do with it. Mike published a letter of response in the Journal
