Bjørn Lomborg: the dissenting climate change voice who changed his tune
world's best-known critic of the dominant scientific view of global warming and the ensuing climate change.
Rajendra Pachauri, compared him to Adolf Hitler , for treating human beings as numbers.
"But Lomborg's record on climate change is more nuanced than the stereotype suggests. From the beginning, he has said global warming is happening and is largely caused by humans. However, he has been consistently critical of what he sees as exaggeration of how much this matters, and of policies to tackle the problem. These would achieve too little and cost too much, he argues, meaning the money would be better spent on, say, reducing malaria and HIV/Aids, or extending clean water and sanitation."
