Bjorn Lomborg, a supporter of Julian Simon (see "The Bet," below), is an associate professor teaching statistics in the Political Science Department of Aarhaus University in Denmark. His book questioning environmental problems was recently translated into English under the title "The Environmental Skeptic." To read rebuttals from Danish scientists to his statements on topics ranging from species extinction to breast cancer to acid rain, see the website of Aarhaus University's Center for Social Science Research on the Environment.
For more rebuttals of Lomborg's assertions (from British environmental writers, academics, and activists in response to a series of newspaper articles written by Lomborg), as well as a link to Lomborg's own site, visit www.anti-lomborg.com.
