Skeptical Environmentalism
The Nasty Battle Between Ideology and Empiricism in Environmental Debates
Statistician Bjorn Lomborg has been severely and widely criticized by environmental groups, the media and even by the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty for his controversial theories on the state of the environment. The relentless attacks on Lomborg are instructive because they demonstrate the refusal of conventional science to embrace research or data that doesn't support the worst-case environmental scenarios.
Please join us as Bjorn Lomborg reflects on the research having brought him to these conclusions and the controversy they have caused.
