I’m not saying Copenhagen Concensus isn’t funded by the government as so many other organizations, but that he’s a left winger, something he also made very clear to AFR when he was first approached with the offer to be director of IMV.

Hey Vogter2100, shut the up already! Have you actually listened to the details of his analysis and positions? He’s introduced effectiveness into the conversation which is a much needed element of developing policy. As for those of you who can’t see any value coming to the world from industrialization and western nations, you should really stop an d notice your cheap laptop, internet access, cell phone, abundant food and how your life span is double from 200 yrs ago.
All I hear from …
All I hear from this guy is money money money…
All of you should …
All of you should read Thomas Sowell’s “Basic Economics” to realize the fallacies of your argument. (Gambit) As for the rest, name calling should be relegated to the fifth graders. I think Vogter’s funding was just rescinded; which may explain the tantrum.
the last time i …
the last time i checked advanced agriculture has lead to the under cutting of developing nations local farming markets. In addition to the 2008 food shortage due to corn/ethanol legislation backed by “advanced” ag. Seriously, the western world criminally exploited the natural resource wealthy nations in order to fuel their “industrialization.” Not dealing w/ this is leading to the demise of the western world.

The thing to bear …
The thing to bear in mind about Lomborg is that he’s a cunt.
BL: “…this is about getting a lot of money…and if it works, I would be doing the exact same thing…”
Yeah, no shit. The question this exists to posit is — as Nero fiddles amidst Roman ashes, aren’t the tunes quite pleasant, after all?
They won’t crawl …
They won’t crawl back under5 their rocks as this is like a religion. to most, but I certainly share your sentiments.
For those who still living in denial, Google “Climategate: Global Warming Hoax Blown Wide Open as “the greatest scandal in modern science” Unfolds”
Agreed. This …
Agreed. This entire global warming thing is a fraud designed to make billions of dollars for some, at the expense of the others. We global warming fear mongers need to be put back under the rock that they came from.
I also dig the …
I also dig the stark formal T-shirt look, been rocking it since I was 15. Chicks don’t really dig the “I still live in my parent’s basement” vibe it seems to give off. Intellect doesn’t doesn’t seem to eclipse the look. It only means that basement might be full of books.

“Climate change” is real–not!
