I read the entire WSJ article. Mr. Lomborg certainly has strong opinions on the subject. He has a Phd in Political Science--not environmental science. He is selling/shilling a book.
Here is some information about the Dr. Lomborg from the London School of Economics.
A closer examination of the fantastical numbers in Bjorn Lomborg’s new book - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment
The WSJ offered this up as an editorial...commentary....opinion. But that is not how the story is being quoted. People are quoting Mr/Dr Lomborg's opinion as facts. Not unlike when FOX was sued by Dominion Voting and FOX lawyers presented the legal defense that their people are NOT news reporters--they are political commentators just repeating what others have said do they are not required to "report" stories accurately. FOX News settled for over $750 million dollars--so much for defending the truth of their statements. I do not ever remember Walter Cronkite being sued.
This story was an "editorial" by Lomborg.
Are there any reliable/faithful news outlets anymore? Maybe the BBC? |
ABC & George Stephanopoulos are currently being sued by a certain political candidate...
CNN settled a $275 million lawsuit for lying about Nick Sandman...
The WaPO settled a $250 million with Sandman in another lawsuit...
NBC was sued for faking explosions on Ford Pick-up trucks...
But sure, Fox News is the problem... Everybody drink!
