Debunking Bjorn Lomborg: Part I | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist
Debunking Bjorn Lomborg: Part I | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist: "Lomborg mocks the notion that polar bears are 'today's canaries in the coal mine' (p. 3). He uses the polar bears to argue that 'we hear vastly exaggerated and emotional claims' (p. 6) and 'our worry makes us focus on the wrong solutions' (p. 7) because we should be focused on stopping people from shooting bears rather than saving their habitat. For Lomborg, you simply can't do both. You must pick one, and you must pick the one that is easier to do now -- even though failure to save their habitat renders all other solutions pointless."
