Lomborg has been misunderstood and misquoted. On both sides of the debate. He was never a denier or sceptical environmentalist but a sceptical economist.
When Al Gore says "omg 5 polar bears are drowning" and Lomborg says "omg 100 polar bears are hunted and killed" it's quite obvious what cause the reduction of polar bears in a region. But when Lomborg says things like that, he become enemy of the environmentalists agenda and the oil lobby misquote him out of context to brainwash the public by telling global warming isn't taking place.
Copenhagen Consensus is not about Lomborgs personal views. It's a broad and representative collection of economists analyzing world problems and how to deal with it in a logic and affordable way. Climate change is only one issue and more people should start listening to them, instead of listening to the misguided and unproductive debates.
