Can you tell me even one stinking place on earth that wasn't colder than average in 2001?
The Earth is cooling fast, and the difference is reaching the point where it is striking.
Excerpt:
The book has provoked scientists and environmental groups into producing articles, websites and pamphlets rubbishing its author and his work.
One of the most hostile, in Nature magazine, likens him to apologists for the Nazis. He has been physically attacked and has had to employ bodyguards.
This weekend Lomborg repeated his claims. “My book seems to have hit a raw nerve. For years we have been hearing how the world is deteriorating. I thought that too and then I looked for the evidence and it just isn’t there. In fact, the history of the world is that things are getting better,” he said.
Lomborg, a Danish statistician and former Greenpeace member, thought the book was a controversial but academic work that might do well to sell a few thousand copies. Instead it has become a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic. His arguments range across almost every area of environmental concern. They include claims that there is no evidence for the wholesale loss of species and that the world’s forest cover is increasing.
His arguments on climate change, however, have sparked the greatest reaction. Lomborg, a professor at Aarhus University, accepts that the world is getting warmer but says it would cost so much to stop that it is simply not worthwhile.
“It would cost the world trillions of dollars a year, money which could be spent on helping the developing world to improve education and hospitals,” he said.

It always amazes me (I guess I'm a slow learner) how these leftist who are so incredibly concerned about tree frogs/snail darters/ozone layers show so little reverence for human dignity. And how they always seem to live by two sets of rules (one as regards their right the spew their lies/venom, and yet another as regards anyone else's right to refute their lies, or justifiably react to their venom). I suppose the pie in the face thing is a little better than what we usually witness for them, though. It makes the idiot who perpetrated the indignity look at least as foolish as his victim.
What do you wanna bet Mr. Lomborg will not be invited to join the Union of Concerned Scientists (not that he'd want to, mind you)? :)
