What's Going On With Bjorn Lomborg?
I mentioned Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, in at least threepreviousposts. Here's a short, recent conversation with Mr. Lomborg.
I liked "The Skeptical Environmentalist" pretty well but I liked the source, "The Ultimate Resource" by Julian Simon, more.
Simon got into the foundational stuff much more. Not just the evidence but the mechanism that produced the evidence. The "why" as well as the what, when and where. Simon also had the ability to go for the jugular in a disarming way as per his famous bet with Paul Ehrlich.
