After 60 pages, there is a little sidebar on Bjorn Lomborg, best-selling author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" who argues, as the late Julian Simon did, that worries about deforestation, species extinction and global warming are deliberately exaggerated and based on bad science.

I read the article and saw it for the nonsense it was right away. A lot of people, unfortunately, uncritically believe anything they read in a magazine. Never read Lomborg's book. Anyone here read it? Is it worth getting a hold of?

Yes, an entertaining and fact filled read.

Yes and yes.
The most convincing, and intellectually satisfying books are those where the author sets out to prove or compile documentation for the opposite of what he actually finds.
