What to do with Bjorn Lomborg?
By James Hrynyshyn, The Island of Doubt Bjorn Lomborg, the ex-Greenpeace bad-boy of statistics, is back at it. In last week’s National Post, Canada’s right-wing embarrassment of a newspaper, he once again takes on climate change activists. The problem with Lomborg, a man trained to play with numbers but seemingly devoid any understanding of how to understand what those numbers really mean (recall The Skeptical Environmentalist, his widely discredited attempt to argue that things...
